- We are looking a converting a tape library of approximately 1000 9-track
- from IBM's CMS operating system (also known as VM/SP, VM/HPO, VM/CMS, etc.)
- to UNIX. The tapes on CMS are written in a variety of formats including
- TAPE and VMFPLC2. The target UNIX systems are a RS/6000-970 and a SGI 4D/340S.
- A 9-track tape drives is on the CMS system. Both the RS/6000 and the SGI
- have 1/4 inch cartridge tape drive (QIC) and an 8mm cartridge tape drive.
- All systems are joined together by TCP/IP.
-
- Any suggestion, solutions, or hints on migrating these tapes would be
- greatly appreciated. A summary will be posted around January 25, 1993.
