Re: New hardware Question

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

WHat model of 8MM? IBM or not? What I/O Card is it connected to (ie
2621, 6501, 6534). If it's not IBM, what IBM model does it emulate?
Inquiring minds need to know!

Off the top of my head the #1 problem I've seen with IBM drives is if
they are attached to #6501 a SCSI interposer must be attached between
the 6501 and the tape cable or OS/400 ignores the tape drive. This
normally does not affect 8MM drives as they are typically connected to
#2621 or for the 7208-342 to the #6534.
