Yup, but you can order 3590 guts for a 9840.

Yes, you can re-configure the drive but you will Void any STK Warranty or

I'm confused. To reconfigure a T9840 to handle 3590 carts would require
a whole new internal drive mechanism. Since this can apparently be
obtained only from

Guy's i have both 9840 & 3590 tape and i can tell you with absolute certinty
that you can not put 9840 tape into 3590 drives and read them it is physicaly
impossiable. but the hardware def for a 9840 is defined as a 3590.
Absolutely true.
The IBM 3590 carts use the same essential mechanism

IMHO it never was true. Do you mean 3590 or rather 3490 tapes ?

The answer is NO. While STK drives do emulate 3590 to the operating

I think you asking if 3590 carts can be read in STK 9840 drives, and
vice versa.
Sorry, no. Although the carts have the same form factor, so they can be
used in each other's tape libraries, the cartridges are incompatible.
STK 3590 compatibility means that it looks like a 3590 to the host, b
Does anyone know this
We have IBM 3590 H drives, if we send the media to a shop running
with STK 9840 tape drives in 3590 Compat mode can they cut a tape. Then
send the tape to us and we insert it into a IBM native 3590 will it be
able to read it? I'm being told yes and no ;) Anyon
