Re: Sharing tapes between S/36 and AS/400?

[bdietz@xxxxxx]

If you open this site and look about 3/4 of the way down you  will find a 
section on QIC tape. 

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/handbook/v5r1/5486Imed.htm

Accordining to the below cliped info 2.5 is the largest QIC drive you can 
have in the 400 to be able to read s/36 tapes.
-----
#6481 2.5 GB -Inch Cartridge (QIC)
The compatibility standard -inch cartridge is the #6482. Therefore, the 
#6481 should only be ordered when compatibility with System/36 tape is 
required.

I have a _real_ S/36, and 2 AS/400s (9402-C04, and a 170).  All have a 
1/4" tape drive. I need to save a library from the S/36 and restore it to 
either of the 400's (I'd prefer the 170, but the old 9402 will do in a 
pinch).  Any ideas on tape density, etc?
