Re: 3480 tape drive

We are using the 3590.  It is very fast, providing you have a 400 that can 
drive 
the beast.  For example, using the same tape drive, here is a comparison of a 
510 
with a 730-2B6B:

Subject:        3480 tape drive

I have been charged with looking into the possibility of purchasing a 3480 or 
3490 tape drive for our  AS/400 model 620. It has to be one of these models (or 
one that uses the very same cartridges in the very same format) as we exchange 
tapes with a couple of customers who use the 3480. Has anyone on the list had 
experience with these models or with like models from other companies? Were 
they reliable? 

Thanks.
