3490-F11

2005-08-02 Thread Sylvia Gorman

Hi all,

Does anyone out there know how to gen a 3490-F11 on an OS/390 R10 system so 
that it will read and write 3480 18-track format tapes?


This is the equipment:

(2) IBM 3490-F11 Cartridge Tape Units
(1) IBM FC0 rack with a 3000 controller
(1) IBM 3220 ESCON feature

Thanks for any help you can give,
Sylvia

I'm not a hardware expert but my understanding is that a 3490 will read 18 
track (3480) with no problem.  It will not ever write 18 track, only 36 track.
