We are running an AIX server with a 3494 library attached with 6 3590
tape drives in it.  We will be purchasing 4-6 more tape drives in the
future inside another unit.

The problem we are having is the i/o slots in the RS/6000's.  The S70 is
the only machine that can go over 15 slots, at least in the latest book
we have.  With 10-12 tape drives, two ethernet, one ATM, one fddi and
SSA disks attached, you can see will need at least 15 slots.

Do any of you have 10+ tape drives attached to one machine and if so,
what is your configuration?
