People still using these tape formats bought some extra time, but do look out for another solution.Effective February 22, 2011, IBM® will withdraw the following tape media types for IBM programs:
- 3480 Tape Cartridge - compressed format
- 3480 Tape Cartridge - uncompressed format
- 3490E Tape Cartridge
This mainframe blog intends to write on IBM z Systems and high-end and midrange storage associated with it. My intention is to write all kinds of comments, hints and tips and thoughts about news in general, announcements, publications, interesting sites and user groups.

No more delivery on 3480 and 3490 tapes
I told you earlier about this, but the date has changed a few months. Last time there was a modification to the z/OS 1.12 preview announcement saying that product delivery on 3480 and 3490 tapes would be discontinued on October 26, 2010. Now there's a specific announcement about this : 'Software withdrawal: Selected media types for IBM programs (ZP10-0263)'.
