What is the message on the display on your tape drive? If it is Mxxxxxx where xxxxxx is volser, then insert tape cartridge. If it is NT RDY, then press green button READY.
If it is blank, then your unit address 590 is emulated drive, not real tape drive. Issue the command D M=DEV(590) Tomas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
