I work in a shop that only has 3480 IDRC drives (Memorex & IBM) and they
are looking to purchase new media as the 3480 media is producing many IO
errors.
Does anyone know if IBM supports writing to 3490E cartridges
(re-initialized to 18 track) using 3480 IDRC drives?
I have successfully run a few test cases, but I do not want to instruct
the client to purchase 3490E media without first confirming it is a
supported environment.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
AFAIK 3490E media (ECCST carts) *cannot* be used in 3480 drives.
Is it a problem to buy CST cartridges ?
Alternatively you could search IBM-MAIN archives - sometimes people want
to give it for free.
BTW: If anybody in Poland needs 3490E carts - I have few thousands. <g>
