We're sharing an STK silo with 3490E tapes among VM, VMS (not MVS) and
unix.  Dynamically.  I am still trying to figure out how get ADSM to be
able to use it.  Any suggestions would be welcome.  If IBM is listening,
I'd rather have a clean mount exit than all the fancy built-in tape
handling in the world (which never seems to be able to handle MY setup).
