I am interested in the segmentation, scaling features of cartridges used in
the TS1120, TS130, TS1140 drives. A reply dated Mon, 18 May 2009 14:49:15 -0500
by Mike Wood of RMM Development indicates there is NO publicly available CCW
information for these drives. In the "3592 Model E07 Tape Driv
I think I over emphasized the Linux factor.
The real question is: "Does anyone know of an installation that is running
CSC Comtec's HMO software (Pick Data Base) on a z/OS SYSPLEX?"

I hate to admit it but I actually played with this for an hour or two no

I think these used to be in the Using Data Sets.
It still has "Appendix B. Non-VSAM Control Blocks "
Does anyone know where I can find these maps.
