that appendix is not about replacing the guts of a 9840, it is about
replacing an entire 9840 with an IBM 3590 which is designed to fit into
the STK tape library.

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

You can install 3590 drives in STK robot library

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

Yes, you can re-configure the drive but you will Void any STK Warranty or
service contract you have on the re-configured equipment.

I have never heard that and I can't find any evidence of that on the STK
web site. It would sound like a good move for STK to offer a
3590-compatible drive.
BTW, the STK T9940 tape drive uses a single hub design similar to the
3590, but

Yeah, pretty much etched in laminar once you pick a config.

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

No, I meant 9840 tapes. This was the experience of the sysprog's that
went to the hot site (I was not there) in 2003, and they say the drives

definitive information?
AFAIR 9840 has two axes inside. All
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 ;)
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,
it will
stay around for a long time as a truly portable media.

We use 3480 cartridges for archival purposes -- you know, those payroll

The answer is NO. While STK drives do emulate 3590 to the operating
system,
STK does not have any drives

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