Re: Attention Light On

A customer's 520 Attention Light came on yesterday, after an init of a tape
failed. Had operator change tapes & run init again. Tape did init, but
yellow
light stayed on. Had operator call IBM Svc and report the tape drive
6384-001
1/4 in cartridge. They came in today, ran diags, & replaced the drive.
Yellow
light is now off.
