Re: Sequel to our 40S troubles

Fortunately drives are indentified by their serial# and not the physical
(SCSI) address.  You can move them around but there may be other
limitiations (controllers, RAID config )

Your load source will probably need to stay on the same controller.

If your 6607 is larger than your 6606, then you have the oldest type of
6607.  IBM has used at least 3 types of drives for the 6607.  The others are
standard size.
