If you have achieved success please let me know how you did it.

Hi all, I'm trying to make a 3490-F11 create 18 track 3480 type tapes. I believe I may have succeeded, but the real test is in seeing if the tape I created can be read by a 3480 drive. So, I'm wondering if anyone with 3480 drives would be willing to read a tape for me and let me know if it works.

Re: Does anyone have a 3480? Got one!
Thanks everyone. I have a volunteer for my test and will be mailing out the tape today!

Re: Does anyone have a 3480?
point was to make sure it was reading 18, if he uses 3490E how will he know what it was reading it as, he will only know it was read successfully by using 3480 he knows for sure. R.S.

You can write 18-track data on CST cart and then read it in 36-track drive. Hints: 18-track is 3480 (also 3480X, 3490), 36-track is 3490E. 36-track drive can write 36-track data and *read* 18-track data. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

The 3490-F11 is a strange beast which CAN write in either 18 or 36-track format, unlike most of its siblings. It was generally marked for open system connection, not S/390 connection but it can be made to work on S/390. Sylvia has apparently figured out how to tell it to write in 18. I recall that we used to have a SCSI 3490-lookalike that we attached to our MP3000 for OS/390. It could write in either format, but the drive had 2 device addresses, depending on which format you wanted to write. -- Bruce A.
