Do I recall right that the last VM release to support 3420 type tapes
was z/VM 4.4? Was that just CMS that no longer supports them, or both
CP & CMS?
Whatever the release was, it was a z/VM statement covering all components.
However, no code was harmed in the making of that announcement. All it
means is that we're no longer maintaining the 3420 code and if something
doesn't work quite right, we're under no obligation to fix it.

Some people who have tried 3420's on z/VM 5.3 said they work. However
IBM is no longer testing 3420 code and if it ever stops working they may
not fix it.
Finding the actual 3420 hardware that still works is getting difficult. :)
