Johnn,

"extended High performance Tapes" means IBM Magstar 3590 K cartridges. They are 
totally different from
*any* AIT tape.
The question was about IBM 3494 (3594 is a typo) library with IBM 3590E
drives.

Not sure what you mean by "extended High performance Tapes" but we
get bulk orders of AIT tapes from ISSI for our SpectraLogic Gator.
Contact <JimD AT issibusiness DOT com> and he'll give you a good deal, less
than $70 per tape (in bulk quantities), plus it comes pre-labelled
the way you specify (AIT, AIT-2, AIT-3)
