RE: Does V5R1 support 9347 tape drive?(and Sci-Fi classics)

[Glenn Birnbaum <gbirnba@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bryan,  this list is really useful. I don't know how I missed this
info, I thought I had read all the documents the V5R1 Installation manual
mentioned.  Fortunately, the system I'm running V5R1 on doesn't have the
9347 (but my production system does, well I guess this will be as good a
reason as any to retire that #@#%^$% drive).  

And from a different thread, talking about Sci-Fi movies, how many times in
the old classics when they showed the super high-tech computer, what you
really saw on the screen were a bunch of vertical round reel tape drives
lined up on a wall, jiggling back and forth, kinda like the 3422s that are
also on the list of V5R1 unsupported hardware.  I guess nowadays Hollywood's
idea of a high-tech computer is someone sitting in front of a laptop
downloading secrets via the nearest satellite orbiting the earth (you know,
using that standard web browser based satellite hacker interface <bg>).  But
I'm definitely off topic.  Thanks again for pointing out this list Bryan.

I know Al answered your question.  I wanted to share the following list of 
other unsupported hardware.

I hate to ask about this piece of you-know-what tape drive, but I thought I
heard that it's not supported under V5R1.  But when i look at the 
CRTDEVTAP command on a V5R1 system, it stilll lists 9347 under device types.
Anyone
know for sure.....
