Please share a picture of the "bomb" as I remember it being called. IIRC, you could remove the cover and unwind the magnetic strip. That would be a cool picture too.

[External Email] At a large company that I worked for in the 80's and early 90's we had a couple of sharp Sysprogs who developed an extension to JES3 that allowed large sysout files to be stored on the 3850 rather than the spool, which wasn't large enough. Then there was the ability to modify the printer to print from one of those spool datasets. When it was decommissioned the CE set it up to eject the 3850 cartridges into a box and many of us were allowed to take some home - I still have 2 of them in my home office. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.
