Hello R.S., >> There are also Fujitsu, IBM 3490F (which I think is really Overland), >If you mean 3490E-Fxx, then yes, it;s Overland drive, attached (using >SCSI) to a PC. The PC is small Siemens server running Sinix (Siemens >flavor of Unix). The PC has ESCON cards for host attachment and SCSI for >drive attachment.
I think it's 3490-F01. Attaches to any PC (or SCSI host, actually), need not be Siemens or run Sinix or have ESCON. >My opinion: piece of sh*t. Older 3490E-Cxx drives are more reliable and >less susceptible to failures. Tested on +25k carts and dozen of drives. OK. If you need ESCON, then there are different choices. I think it's impressive that any 3490-Cxx or 3490-Fxx are still in operation, and indeed they are, but I haven't seen recent R+ numbers. ;-) I have seen 3490-Cxx and the others with "out of service" signs blocking their orifices. Enjoy your football matches!
