Tape eligibility when output is restricted to specific device types

Table 1 (for 3480, 3480X, 3490) and Table 2 (for 3590) show which tapes are selected when selection is restricted to specific device types.

Table 1. Tape Eligibility when Output is Restricted to a Specific Device Types (3480, 3480X and 3490). The device restriction is implemented through the ACS routine filtering.
