Introduction

Tape

Unit

Automatic

Threading

The IBM

3803-2/3420

Magnetic Tape Subsystem consists of an IBM 3803 Model

2 Tape Control and one or more IBM 3420 Magnetic Tape Units. The 3420

Tape Units are available in six models with tape speeds

75, 125, and 200

inches per second

(190,5/317,5/508

cm/sec)

for Models

3/4,

5/6,

and

7/8,

respectively.

The 3803 Model 2 operates at 6250 BPI and 1600 BPI densities.

~803

Tape Control without any switching features controls up to eight 3420

Tape Units

x 8 configuration).

The 3803 command set, status responses, and basic sense data are compatible

with 2400-series tape subsystems. However, there are some minor programming

differences.

For

example:

The number of sense bytes and contents

those bytes differs from those

used by 2400-series subsystems.

All commands not listed in Figure 6 except Mode Set type set

COMMAND

REJECT (sense byte 0, bit 0).

3. A sense command must be issued after a condition

encountered which sets

UNIT CHECK in the unit status byte.

In most instances, non-time dependent programs that operate successfully on

2400-series tape units will operate correctly on a

3803/3420

subsystem with the

appropriate features.

Information presented in this section applies to all models of the tape unit.

When the operator places a file reel or a cartridge

the reel hub and presses

LOAD-REWIND,

the power window closes, the automatic reel latch secures the

file reel to the hub, and tape

threaded, loaded into the columns, and positioned

at load point without further operator action.

IBM

Easy

Load

Cartridge

When used with a solid-flange tape reel (standard IBM 10.5 inch), the IBM Easy

Load Cartridge reduces tape handling and helps prevent contamination

physical damage.

During a load operation,

the first threading sequence

unsuccessful, tape

rewound into the cartridge and another attempt

made.

and

A single, direct-drive capstan moves tape forward

backward. Air bearings

reduce friction and tape wear since the oxide (recording) tape surface contacts

only the

read/

write head, the erase head, and the tape cleaner. Short, tapered

vacuum columns greatly reduce tape inertia when starting and stopping tape. The

tapered columns and single-drive capstan start and stop tape quickly and

smoothly.

A two-gap

read/

write head allows read back checking during a write operation.

Moving forward tape passes first the write gap, then the read gap.

An erase head applies a strong magnetic field that erases the entire width

tape

during write operations. Full-width erasure prevents interchangeability problems

when tape

written on one tape unit and read

another; it also reduces the

chances of leaving extraneous bits in interblock gaps or skip areas.

During a write, write tape mark, or erase operation, the tape unit monitors the

erase head operation. On a 3420 Model 4, 6, or 8 an erase head failure drops

tape unit ready status and halts tape motion.

a 3420 Model 3, 5, or 7 an

erase head failure sets

UNIT

CHECK, but does not drop ready status.

A write enable ring must be present in the

file

reel when writing. To avoid

destroying information on tape, remove the write enable ring. A reel without the

ring

"file-protected." The FILE PROTECT indicator remains on when a reel

without a file protect ring

mounted and no writing can occur.

Tape remains in the vacuum columns during rewind operations. Rewind ends

when a photocell senses a beginning-of-tape (load point) reflective marker on

tape.

During a rewind/unload operation, tape

rewound completely onto the file reel.

The tape unit

left in unloaded status, with the tape reel latch unlocked and the

window open, allowing the operator to remove the file reel.

The 3420 Models 4, 6, and 8 have the following added capabilities and features:

• 6250 BPI capability.

• 0.3-inch IBG.

Nominal data rates of 1250, 780, or 470

Kb/sec

at 6250 BPI.

• Improved access times.

• Prec:1e motion control

the media to achieve faster data access times.

6250 BPI or

6250/1600

BPI density features.

• Automatic read amplification.

New tape cleaning mechanism.

3420 Models 3, 5, and 7 can be converted to 3420 Models 4, 6,
