Hi Markus IBM is no longer developing drivers for the 3575-series of libraries. However, the old drivers are still supported. Thats why you can use it on AIX, SUN and HP/UX(which your link states).
However, try running it with for example Linux, and you'll find out that the Atape driver for Linux doesnt support 357X devices. As new operating systems are introduced, no further development of drivers will occur for the 357X devices. So, it's more of a definition of support. Yes, it supported with the old existing drivers. No, it's not supported for new operating systems.

I didn�t find anything about eos in the IBM pages searching for 3575. In fact it only quotes having to use the IBM driver starting 5.1. I hope it�s just a roumor... If not, I would be highly interested where to find more. It�s still in the list of supported devices: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Supported_Devices_for_AIXHPSUNWIN.html Mit freundlichen Gr��en, Markus Engelhard IT531 Storage & Recovery Deutsche Bundesbank Wilhelm-Epstein-Stra�e 14 60431 Frankfurt am Main Tel. +49 69 9566 -6104 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Diese E-Mail enth�lt vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich gesch�tzte Informationen.
