The Magstar MP 3570 will be supported in the next ADSM Solaris 2.6
server ptf. The ptf will bring the 2.6.12 server to level 2.6.15 and
hence will be called ptf15.  We should have the ptf available in a
week or so.

The IBMtape device driver which supports the IBM drives on Solaris is
not currently committed to support the 3575 until 1Q98. BUT! there
have been several inquires about 3575 support on Sun and the hardware
group responsible for this device driver is re-evaluating their plans.

I forward all these inquires on to this group, so if anyone else is
interested 3575 support on Sun please let us know.
