Bob, Not knowing the exact age of your machine, I may be off-base here, but here goes. If the unit is more than a few years old, it may not be even running unix & TPSYS. As I recall, when we upgraded our TP9 (circa 1992) to the newer OS, we basically had to replace the entire CPU unit along with some other hardware changes. The engineer was in our facility for the better part of a day and a half. If your wanting to run the newest TPSYS, you'll probably also be faced with the required magazine upgrades to go along with it. Not much help I'm afraid, but just my two cents.
