[LINUX5250] Mounting tapes on an AS/400

[Brandon Barker <bebarker@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, I'm interested in looking at Cobol, and a friend of mine who is a
Cobol programmer (but not a very avid computer user in general) gave me a
QIC-2GB tape with some cobol examples on it.  I have an AS/400 running (and
connected using tn5250 to my linux machine) OS/400v3r2 that should be able to
mount the tape, but I can't figure out the tape device's name, and neither
can my friend because she used System36 and not OS/400.  If anyone can help
me or point me to some documentation I'd be grateful - I plan on using Linux
and also tinycobol once I can access these programs.

Thanks in advance,
Brandon Barker
