Does the 7208 read the tapes OK? If so, you should be able to hook up the 
7208 to the 810 and use the DUPTAP command.

Hi Folks, 

 

Getting to deep six our 620 (at V4R5) and I ALMOST spaced a bunch of tapes
that need to be "converted".

The 620 uses the IBM 9427-210 Cartridge Tape Subsystem which is 8mm. The 
810
(at V5R2) has the (FANTASTIC) IBM 3581-H23 Tape Unit. Neither will work on
the other. BUT I have an IBM 7208 8mm loaner tape unit that will work on
both so that is how I got data off of the 620 and onto the 810.

 

My "dilemma" is we have a bunch of "historical" 8mm tapes that contain 
stuff
that is no longer on the 620, or has been updated, etc. So I am going to
have to restore it on the 620 via the 9427 and then save them on the 7208,
then hook it up to the 810 and restore it there and then save it off on 
the
3581.

 

So my question is, is does anyone know of a service out there that could
convert 8mm tapes to 3581 cartridges ?

 

Thanks ! 

 

Chuck
