Don,
I know that I have searched previously for companies to do this, but I
didn't find anywhere near as many hits as I got when I entered your search
arguments. Thanks - those are a lot better than the search arguments I used
previously.
I was hoping for someone who had already done this, and had companies that
they would recommend. I'll definetly check this out some of these companies
on Monday when I get back to work.

Subject: Re: Convert 3490E Tapes to CD or DVD
A search via Google for "convert 3490e tape to cd" yields thousands of
hits. On the first page of 20 hits, there are at least a half a dozen
companies that provide the service you are looking for. Even to the point
of converting binary and packed decimal fields as needed. Note however
that these do not seem to be inexpensive services.

Does anyone know of any companies that can convert mainframe tapes to
DVDs or CDs? As many of you know, our mainframe is going out the door
at the end of April. All of the historical data and otherwise tape
data will then in essence be unreadable by us. All of our tapes are
currently 3490-E model tapes. We are looking for a company who can
read the data on a 3490E drive and convert it to ASCII and write it on
a DVD or CD, or just FTP it to us. This would be on an as needed
basis, and may or may not be a lot of data.
You can reply to me or the group, or call me.
