It is not correct that 3.1.2.40 was the first available server to support
3590e drives. Here is a quotation of the 3.1.2.22 server readme:
"ADSM now supports the IBM 3590E Tape drive."

This should be a message going to to those with 3590Es in general.
Support for it has been through testing phases and wasn't included
at 3.2.1.30(if memory serves correctly).  But is at 3.1.2.40
