Is the IBM Internal Tape Backup for the PS/2 supported by IBM? Not if you ask me. AIX, as it comes, only supports the EXTERNAL tape system. After MUCH difficulty, I was told that in order to use my Internal Tape Backup, I needed to fill out an RPQ, add ANOTHER $17.50 to the $3000.00 already spent for AIX, and wait, all because IBM forgot to add the backup support. Well, this wouldn't be so bad, IF I could find someone who knows what AIX is, what an RPQ is, and will take my $17.50!! Two weeks after being forcful with my "dealer" so that he would look into it, I finally get a call from IBM, and explain the whole thing over again. He at least knows what AIX is, but still has to "look into it". Now he's out of town for a week. Support? What support? Question: Is anyone using the Internal Tape Backup with AIX for the PS/2, and if so, HOW did you get it to work? -- Harry Haas GTRI/RAIL/TDD "What makes it DO that!?" - Bones Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!prism!hh2 Internet: hh2@prism.gatech.edu HHaas@GTRI01.GATECH.EDU
