Doesn't this mean that they are only discontinuing a particular type of 3490E? The way I read this, they are not discontinuing making this type of tape, just that make.

Hi David, On this page: http://www.imation.com/products/data_center_tape/3480_3490E_tape_cartrid ges.html 3490E BlackWatch End of Life Imation is announcing the end of life on 3490E BlackWatch cartridges. This product is being discontinued and will only be available while supplies last. Please use 3490E Royal Guard product for all future 3490E requirements. An E-mail I received from Imation also said: "The website will be updated shortly to reflect that 3490E and 3480 will be end of life. (Royal Guard and Black Watch)" There may be other manufacturers; although Imation owns Memorex and picked up the remains of EMTEC (BASF).
