Yes, you can re-configure the drive but you will Void any STK Warranty or
service contract you have on the re-configured equipment.
I'm confused. To reconfigure a T9840 to handle 3590 carts would require
a whole new internal drive mechanism. Since this can apparently be
obtained only from STK (assuming that they really offer it), then STK
should warrant it.
I guess it is concievable that some third party is offering to modify a
T9840 to handle 3590 carts, but why would you want to do so? Why not
just buy 3590 drives?
IBM used to offer a 3590 drive that would work in STK's tape libraries.
Are you perhaps thinking of that?
