Being nitpicky
There is no such thing as an escon attached 3592-E05/TS1120. The tape drives
are attached to a controller via scsi and the controller is escon/ficon
attached.
1. Do you have an existing controller that will support these tape drives?
IBM 3592-J70 for one?
2. Do you want autoloaders or not?
3. What rack will these be mounted in?
BTW, the last number I saw on an IBM 3592-E05, without autoloaders and mounted
in a 3494 was about $13K.

While I wait for a return call from an IBM reseller, can anyone give me
a rough ballpark number for the cost of an ESCON attached 3592/TS1120
tape drive? The whole point would be to start encrypting tapes that will
go off-site, if that narrows down which variant I need.
I just love it when managers find unallocated money in the budget....
Thanks,
Nick
