No can do... If you are heavily leveraged in the 3480 area, than obtain a used 3490e single drive to support this.
However at some point 3490e to 3590 will be every where. Maybe exploring FTP from the "Data Feeding Agency" would be another solution that's independent of physical media.

Once again I look to the group for help. Our data feeding agency has upgraded to 3490E - 36 track devices. We are still 3480E-16 track devices. We can't read their cart. Is there anything that can be done so we can read what they are sending us? I am not sure if TRTCH=NOCOMP will work. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
