When you do this remember to define devclass 9840 devtype=ecart. I'm not
sure where this is documented, but I just did it and it works. I vaguely
remember seeing it some time ago, but in looking at help define devclass,
you won't see it.
Helpful hint for the day.

Just out of curiosity, why do you have the 9840s emulating 3490s and 3590s?
Is there an advantage to doing this, or is it just for compatibility with
pre-existing tapes?
The reason I ask is because I am in the throes of setting up a new
implementation with STK 9840s (in a Powderhorn) and I don't know a lot about
tapes yet.
