Hi,
     Looks like I'm going to have to move ADSM from MVS to an AIX platform.
 When looking at what tape technologies to use, I narrowed down my choices
to 3490E, 3590, and DLT.   I'm very familiar with 3490 technology but don't
think this is viable because of the low cartridge capacity.  This leaves me
with DLT and 3590 technologies.   I'd be very interested to hear about any
experiences, good or bad, with either DLT or 3590.  Would also be looking at
some sort of tape library (3494 if we go 3590, Odetics if we go DLT).  Right
now I'm leaning towards DLT because 3590s are very expensive.  Any feedback
would be appreciated.

Thanks...
