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.

IIRC, our first 4341's at Clearing were loaded via a special cable from
the CPU directly to a 3420 tape drive.
