Richard,

the "From" is not applicable for all devices. Therefore, the question 
Sascha asked was asked for a reason. Some DLT, AIT and 8mm devices are no 
longer supported. However, if you look at them in the "Supported Devices 
List", you will get the notion that they are supported.

So the "Supported list" is mostly with the "From" statement, but in some 
scenarios, the stated version is the latest version that will work with 
the device in question.

Sascha, sometimes there are other reasons why the device wont work. Thats 
why you should always check the patch information and the knowledge base 
for information regarding your device before down-grading the version of 
TSM you're running.

 In 90% of the scenarios when you have problem with a device, its due to a 
bug or issue with the device in the code of TSM, and is almost every time 
already registred as an APAR with IBM/Tivoli.

Best Regards

The explanatory information above the table specifies that the VRML given
is the minimum level.
