Why certainly it will. In fact reference the screen shot from Frankie
himself to see that is exactly what he uses! I believe the 30GB QIC
goes back to V4R5 or something and still works just fine in V7R1.
As to installing it no problem at all. Just do be aware the the screws
the hold the tape drives into model 170s with have teeeeeeny heads and
you're likely best to use a small flat blade screwdriver. And don't
forget there is one screw on the right side as well as the two on the
left. The system will need to come down as this drive is on the SCSI
string with the load source. Depending on your current drive you may
need a 68 pin to 50 pin convereter to connect the FC #6384.
Good Luck!

We need a new tape drive for our old 170 I would like to get
one that is compatible with all of our other machines (They
all have 6384's)
Will a 6384 tape drive work in a model 170 running V5R2?
If yes, is this something I can do fairly easily myself or
will I need to pay our hardware maintenance company to
install and configure it?
Thanks in advance
