DEC finally came out and installed the new FCOs in my ts11.  While I have
not had a chance to really test them, so far things look pretty good.
There are a couple of major mods, including all new microcode and new  
hardware to keep the tape tension constant.  They also install new push
buttons (with new labels) and mods to make the tape reel easier to move
when loading/unloading tapes.  The FCO numbers are:

	EQ-01106
	EQ-01156

The installation took about 3 hours to install, as they also perform
a PM on the drive. 

Since it's a freebee, I would recommend that anyne who is stuck with
this tape drive have these FCOs installed.  BE warned, tho, that it
took about two months for the local office to receive all of the parts
(demand, they said, was quite high).
