available in 500, 750, and 1000 cartridge capacities
(model numbers 9360-050, 9360-075, and 9360-100,
respectively). WolfCreek LSMs can be connected by
pass-thru ports to 4410, 9310, or other WolfCreek
LSMs.
WolfCreek CAP— The standard WolfCreek CAP
contains a 20-cell magazine-style CAP and a priority
CAP (PCAP).
See also Cartridge Access Port, standard CAP,
enhanced CAP, priority CAP, WolfCreek optional
CAP, or TimberWolf CAP.
WolfCreek optional CAP— The WolfCreek
optional CAP contains a 30-cell magazine-style CAP
which is added to the standard WolfCreek CAP.
See also Cartridge Access Port, standard CAP,
enhanced CAP, priority CAP, WolfCreek CAP, or

performed to record a special magnetic mark on tape.
The mark identifies a specific location on the tape.
WTM— See Write Tape Mark.
WTO— Write-to-Operator.
WTOR— Write-to-Operator with reply.
Z
ZCART— (1) Cartridge system tape with a length of
2200 feet that can be used only with 9490EE
Cartridge Drives. (2) A value that can be specified on
the MEDia parameter and that includes only 36-track
9490EE cartridge system tapes. (3) See also
Extended Enhanced Tape.
Symbols
µ-software— Microprogram. A sequence of
microinstructions used to perform preplanned
functions and implement machine instructions.
Numerics
18-track— A recording technique that uses 18 tracks
on the tape. The tape is written in only the forward
motion.
18track— A generic value that can be specified on
the RECtech parameter and includes all 18-track
transports.
3480— (1) A value that can be specified on the
MEDia parameter and that includes only standard
capacity cartridge tapes. (2) An alias of Standard.
3480X— The 3480 upgrade that supports ICRC.
3490— The IBM cartridge drive that replaced the
3480X and supports ICRC but not 36-track or long
tape. It is equivalent to the IBM 3480X.
3490E— (1) The IBM cartridge drive that replaced
the 3490 and supports ICRC, 36-track, and long tape.
It reads 18-track but does not write 18-track. (2) A
value that can be specified on the MEDia parameter
and that includes only enhanced capacity cartridge
system tapes. (3) An alias of ECART.
3590— The IBM cartridge drive that supports
128-track recording and holds 10GB of
uncompressed data. It has the same form factor as a
3490E.
36-track— A recording technique that uses 36 tracks
on the tape. 18 tracks of data are written in the
forward motion and then an additional 18 tracks in
the backward motion for a total of 36.
36track— A generic value that can be specified on
the RECtech parameter and includes all 36-track
transports.
36Atrack— A value that can be specified on the
RECtech parameter and includes only 4490
(Silverton) 36-track transports.
36Btrack— A value that can be specified on the
RECtech parameter and includes only 9490
(Timberline) 36-track transports.
36Ctrack— A value that can be specified on the
RECtech parameter and includes only 9490EE
(Timberline EE) transports.
4410 LSM— See standard LSM.
4480 Cartridge Subsystem— Cartridge tape
transports that provide read/write capability for
18-track recording format. The StorageTek 4480
Cartridge Subsystem is equivalent to a 3480 device.
