In our library IBM-3494 are 3490E tape-units. This library will reach its
limits for the number of cartridges.
We think of replacing the 3490E normal tapes by long-tapes.

Does TSM support a mix of different tapes?
If so, is it necessary to make modification in e.i. hardware(3490E
modification?) or in TSM-settings.
Are there pitfalls?

Kindest regards,
