Does anyone have the service manual for the IBM 9348
9-track tape drive?
I'm trying to find out why mine is failing diagnostic test #1 (error code
6).

Me too!

Seriously, Sellam, you might try some of the retailers who still sell
them at >$1k/ea. I looked around last year and didn't find squat, but
then I only tried a couple of dealers.
Mine's not failing diags, it just can't the BOT mark on a known good
tape.
It's a 9348-012, by the way. I expect you already know this, but in
IBM-world, the -012 suffix may be important, for example whether it's SE
or differential.
