I've been asked to explore the feasibility of reading standard-labeled MVS tapes on other platforms. I know that 3580/90 devices can be attached via Escon/Fiber Channel HBAs, and that IBM offers a device driver for certain *nix systems. So, my question: Is anyone doing this? And if so, is there any available software that will handle the O/C/EOV functions (label checking, positioning, etc.), or would this all need to be built from the ground up, above the driver?
