Depends on how you define the word "larger". We do not have a robot or VTS on our VM system. We have to share the tape library with the development MVS system. It is now on CA1 (if that is the one that used to be TLMS) and manual tapes. I guess that makes a 64G z990-305 a mid size machine :)

But back on the origional topic, I would gather that larger shops already have solved their tape problems with a robotic setup (perhaps with VTS). Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting
