9-track tape drives for HP9000 server
We're replacing an HP9000/K200 server that has 2 7980S 9-track tape drives. Evidently those aren't really state-of-the-art devices any more. We'd like to have a 9-track drive on the new machine (an rp3410 9000-class machine).
Hardware maintenance on the drives is also quite expensive.
Does anybody know if the 7980S is supported by HP, or if there's a third-party maker of 9-track SCSI drives?

Re: 9-track tape drives for HP9000 server
It looks like you can still purchase replacements parts for the 7980S from HP on the HP parts web site. I would assume that HP still supports the SCSI 9 track 7980S. It might be more cost effective for you if you bought some maintenance spares, those refurbished 7980S tape drives sell for about 1k on the used market.
