Chuck,

Speaking of 8mm's.  Our 840 has:
25gb
7208 8mm
one 3590
two 3581
one 9348 reel-to-reel
one dvd
two cd's.

Our new upgrade will replace two side cars with SPD busses with a new
sidecar.  In that process we'll lose the 7208 8mm but gain another DVD. If
you got an upgrade in your future you might want to explore your media.

We dumped our 3570's.  Too many problems.  (Gee, maybe the "Money
talks..." argument didn't apply there.)

Dave Weber from IBM replaced the tape drive this morning.

Since then we've done 4 INZTAP's to it.  3 were CLEAR(*NO) and averaged
5
write errors.  1 was a CLEAR(*YES) and got 12 write errors.  We expect
zero.  After all, our 3590 and 3581's write to several tapes and never
experienced a write error this weekend.
Yet another new tape drive is on order for tomorrow.

Chuck, do you use 25gb tapes?
If you do a PRTERRLOG TYPE(*VOLSTAT) VOLTYPE(6386) do you find a lot of
write errors?
What tapes can you write to?  Scott said he can write to 2gb tapes, but
I
can't even INZTAP a 2gb tape in that drive.
