I think the point is that for every 390 customer that has SCSI-attached 3590 drives, there are at least 2 dozen who have spent more than $500K on 3480/3490 silo technology that can't use the IBM-supported backup tool without buying and installing z/OS and z/OS TSM (which pretty close to triples the price of implementation) or replacing their drives (which z/OS and the other 390 operating systems can't directly use, forcing them to partition their silos and making no end of hassle for operations). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
