Re: IBM 3995 Optical Library

[Pete Massiello <pmassiello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

    What about a compressed ASP using V4R3 and the new DASD controller.
This way, you just put your Historical data files out there, and your
users or programs would just point to them in that library.  Should be
the least amount of changes (at best it is adding a new library to your
library list).

    A thought.
