We have an STK9710 and we have to use device mod 4.  We are running ADSM
2.1.6 with AIX4.1.5.  We are having lots of errors on our tapes.  Plan
to move to ADSM 3.1 instead of applying current PTFs on ver 2.  I'm
watching these Q n A 's on DLT7000's with STK9710, for any gotchas I'm
gonna face later.

        We use the 9730 on our version ADSM V2.1 servers. STK wrote
special code
        so that ADSM would see it as a 9710. Works so far. I have the
code but
        if your not
        familiar with loading, or don't have the right mod tap
connectors you
        will need STK's help.
        Also, we have to use Device mod 3 because it is emulating a
9710.

        IBM promised us that they would support the 9730 with V3.0...
Six months
        later....
        Good luck
        CR
