Re: 6385 qic tape not supported on v5r2 -- MIDRANGE-L

This withdrawal of support was announced like two or three years ago. At that time IBM announced 'incentives' to get folks to move to the 16GB version or larger. However since the drive still worked during the incentive period there was insufficient reason to do anything until it was going to stop working (i.e. the install of V5R2). Now all the incentives are dust and customer after customer is stuck purchasing a replacement drive. Many are going used for compatibility, some are at the right point to upgrade their systems (and bury the tape cost in the upgrade), and others are staying at V5R1 for now.
