Unfortunately, the my 520 is running V5R3, so this looks like it won't be
an option for my tapes, but it might very well work for my client who is
running V5R4. Thanks for the idea .... I'll look into it.

I am getting ready to replace my 520 with a new E4A and I see that the
tapes are incompatible. The 520 has a 1/4" QIC tape while the new system
comes with a DAT drive. I have quite a few off-line backups stored on QIC
tapes that I periodically need access to. Does anyone know of reliable
conversion services where I might be able to get these converted?
Are you on V5R4 or up on the old 520?
Just DUPTAP them to virtual tapes, transfer them over the network to
the new machine, and DUPTAP it back to the (presumably) LTO4 drive.
You can't attach the SLR60 drive easily to a Power 6 520, because
they're SCSI. And tape drives driven by SCSI cards need an IOP. And
there's no IOPs in the Power 6 CEC. I'm not even sure if IBM has a
PCI-E SCSI card for the Power 6 machines.
