Considering the cost of a 3592 cartridge I would be surprised if many vendors offer it as an option. What I do see a lot more of is CD's and electronic transfer.
Depending on local Tax laws an electronic transfer (i.e. NO physical media) may exempt you from sales tax. Ken Porowski AVP Systems Software CIT Group Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Johnston, Robert E Hello, We recently converted to virtual tape and 3592. Now mgt is itching to get the 3480s off the floor. My question is, do vendors (IBM and CA mostly) offer products on 3592 format or are we going to have problems if we get rid of the 3480 drives and try to order new software? I know there are internet options for z/OS but we are not positioned right now to make use of it. Thanks for any info, Robert ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
