SUBJ:   3.0 Upgrades -- Tape Requirements

COPY:   Dan Remeika


Based on the current back-order report (attached), plus projected
requirements for the 3.1 patch update, the following quantities of tapes
are required:

KIT             # KITS  2400'   1200'
---             ------  -----   -----
3.0/Sys5         65     130     130
3.0/V7            1       2       0
3.0/no unix      30      60      30
TCP              54       0      54
LSR+             15       0      15
IRIS             19              19
VISTA            17              17
3.1 patch       120 ?           120
                        ---     ---
                        192     385

(round up)              200     400

(minus on-hand)        - 30    - 60 (approximations!)
                        ---     ---
                        170     340

We can use the last quantity, adjusted from the quantities of duplicated
tapes on hand, if you prefer; but we have relatively few on hand of each
tape, and we may need the margin they afford anyway for replacing bad
tapes, etc..

Note that as we discussed previously, tapes such as Laser1+ that we were
sending on 600' reels, we should instead duplicate on 1200' reels to
prevent problems in the field.  The quantity of 1200' reels above
reflects that change.
