I have a related question. All of the S/260s that

Our 360/50 had 2400 drives. Read both 7 and 9 track on one. I think
the subsystem was structured similar to the 3400 which had a controller
box that powered and ran the drives. I'm not sure what the 2400 system
number was, but the 3400 series was a 3803, I think with the power
supply and channel, etc.
thanks
