RE: Need feedback on tape drive upgrades.

["Berg, Dan" <berg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 
We are looking at replacements for our slow 6385 tape drive as well.
I would like to hear opinions as to what are the best options for a 
replacement drive for our AS/400.
 
We are looking at a couple of options like using a 2729 Tape Attachment 
for our 3494 tape robot (yes, we have an IBM mainframe too) 
or a 3580-H11 LTO tape drive.
 
But I don't know the AS/400 hardware world very well and 
would like some good suggestions.

Thanks
