Didn't the 4331's have a file/tape adapter? That might have been for FBA devices only. 20+ years ago I was the data center manager for an insurance company and we ran all of our DASD off the FTA. When we upgraded to the 4381 we had to install a 3990.
Gary << Snip >> The 4331-2 disk is mostly readable - it gets a check halfway thru the load, and the previous owner devised a complicated song-and-dance act that one needs to do to get past the problem. It works, but is just itching to get worse over time. I do not have a similar song-and-dance for the 3830, so if that gets troublesome, things will be bad. << End Snip >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
