Abstract

IBM Burlington has made the transition from a purely IBM MVS Host based architecture for writing and inspecting photomasks to an innovative hybrid host and local area network (LAN) solution. This involved going from a pure 9 track host generated tape environment to a IBM RISC/6000 LAN solution. An 80% tape reduction has been realized to date. Other IBM sites utilizing the same architecture include IBM Essonnes, France; IBM San Jose, CA and IBM Rochester, MN. The transition of the IBM Burlington photomask operational environment will be detailed to show the migration from tape to LAN for current and new equipment. Decision points and rationale that were used in the process will be given.
