Since that system is slated for end of hardware support in early 2019, and
cannot be upgraded to OS V7.3, I would want to find a tape drive that would
be compatible with both this box and my shiny new Power 9 box I hope to get
next year (Santa are you listening?) . Otherwise you are going to invoke
the spend money command for a tape drive now, and again for a tape drive in
the next few months. Now, does such a drive exist? I don't know, but that
would be high on my criteria.

subject: Backup media
With a worn out DAT160 backup tape on our production box, I went looking
for replacement media.
And I discovered that DAT160 is considered an obsolete format, with
availability limited to stock on hand.
Given that we have a rack-mountable E4A, with a DAT160 drive for backup,
can anybody suggest any long-term options?
