YES.  Danford has the TDI-3010 running just fine at SR10.3.

NO.  The problem in question was caused by Apollo changing the way bind works
     at SR10.3.  Users who were trying to re-install the TDI software onto
     a node upgraded to SR10.3 were not able to bind the pmlib and kslib
     libraries with the TDI routines properly.

Danford has patch for the installation procedure at SR10.3.
Call Danford at (213) 514-9334 for more information.
