MFNetDisk already have the option to access any file which is allocated in MFNetDisk 3390 immediately. MFNetDisk can replace or can add value to any virtual tape or HSM as a secondary storage media or as a replacement to tapes media. So in general you can have very cheap storage (HARD DISK) which can emulate any 3390 size disk (all models and all size, even 100 cylinders is OK ) which can replace any tapes or virtual tape storage and can be online to the MF anytime amd all the time.
