Re: Switch To Share 3590 Tape Unit Between 2 AS/400's

["Mike Shaw" <mshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

Thought of that, but if you look at the flimsy pins in the adapter, it
living dangerously....This could be cut over 3 - 4 times a day when the Y2K
shuffle begins here next week.

I think a switch is the better way to go if one exists.

Thanks,

Mike Shaw
