I suspect that the only thing that will successfully copy the tapes is DDR under VM. Which of course leads to the catch22 that the VM system has no access to the 3590s. Right? A possibility is that if you could get some stand-alone time on the system with the 3590s (perhaps a test LPAR), you could run stand alone DDR to do the copy. -- Rich Greenberg N6LRT Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time zone.
