Ted, SELTAPE=LOWEST is rather obvious as far as favouring low order addresses, but my rapidly fading memory seems to recall that NEXT was the default, and it still had a problem with favouring low order drives. RANDOM as a default came later I believe.
Perhaps a senior moment... I can't find anything that supports my recollection except an old post about NEXT would forget the last drive allocated after a short period of time.
