I heard about (poor in fact) tapeless mainframe shop. Everytime they had
to install something from tape it was a nightmare: someone had to visit
"best colleague" shop with tapes and download tape content. Last but not
least: SMP/E RECEIVE is not easy in this scenario.
I worked at a place that kept some old Singer tape drives. But
mostly I've worked at places that have had to send some tapes out to a
service bureau to convert tapes from formats that they couldn't use.
Most sites don't have every kind of tape drive, so they limit what
people could send them or use the service bureau.
Well,
1. There are no such service bureaus in Poland. No such service
officially available.
2. You don't need to have every kind of tape, just the most popular one.
IMHO "the most common denominator" is 3490E. It can read CST and ECCST
carts 18 trk and 36 trk, compressed or not. Even StorageTek used that
format. Of course times are a changing, so I'm happy observing that most
companies deliver software on CD/DVD media or Internet download. Except
huge packages it is easier.
