Ed,
You could automatically start more initiators :) and if you implement TMM
then there is no mount request for output (and often for the input as well).
Caleb,
You can use TMM to direct USER tape output to disk, and therefore there is
no input tape for USER datasets. More user friendly than
OOPS! blush

time it would take to crack the key and decrypt the data. For example,
current estimates as to the length of time is would take to crack a 256 bit
