I know that budgets are tight and you may not have money available, but we use a Westpoint Chameleon. The Chameleon is a universal tape system for IBM Mainframes and Midrange Systems, providing full backward compatibility for 18 and 36 track tape cartridges as well as for 1.2 inch open reel tapes.

No can do... If you are heavily leveraged in the 3480 area, than obtain a used 3490e single drive to support this. However at some point 3490e to 3590 will be every where. Maybe exploring FTP from the "Data Feeding Agency" would be another solution that's independent of physical media. Kevin -

Could you please describe your serialization environment? GRS Ring? GRS STAR? MII? In my experience, the best performer is GRS STAR, but it's certainly possible to implement GRS STAR in a way which performs badly (by not dedicating an engine to the CF holding ISGLOCK, for example). Brian O

Hi All. Once again I look to the group for help. Our data feeding agency has upgraded to 3490E - 36 track devices. We are still 3480E-16 track devices. We can't read their cart. Is there anything that can be done so we can read what they are sending us? I am not sure if TRTCH=NOCOMP will work. Any
