RE: External disk for iSeries

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

This Ultrium 2 is an IBM tape drive.  We have a few of them.

I believe the GST drive is supposed to be an ultrium drive also.  That one 
I said can write to two tapes at a time to get you your offsite copy.

Our old 3590's are sitting on the loading dock, along with the 820 we 
replaced.  We'll probably eb@y the 3590 cartridges.

Is this Ultrium 2 an IBM drive?  I've had my experiences with non-IBM tape
drives and don't want to go there again.

We have an iSeries 270 and will probably replace with an i5 520 within a
year.  Will this superfast tape drive cost more than the entire system?
