Hercules seesm to support 9345 devices, and will also read from real tapes on SCSI so it would be possible to do this under emulation, provided:- 1) You could find a SCSI drive that will read your tapes, or get some one to copy the tapes to AWS format files. 2) you could legally justify it under, say a disaster recovery clause in an existing license, or have IBM issue a limited license. 3) you have the minidisk layouts for the packs concerned we have previously noted VM DASD do not have VTOCS... > If however you have a running system with different > types of DASD connected, you can use DFSMS COPY to > copy CMS formatted minidisks from one disk type to > another (even from CKD to FBA).
