Keith and Kyle,

     What has been your experience with storage of TSM data on the 9840's?  Any
problems with reclamation times or seek times on restores?  Do you send the 9840
cartridges to the vault - and for how long?  We are considering this as well,
but I have concerns about the above.

                         Thanks for any info,

                         Ginny

I don't know that a direct interface between TSM 3.7.X and LibStation
exists. We do it with an external library manager providing the linkage.
