I looked at one on an AS400 a long time ago, and IBM appeared
to have OEMed the drive from HP.
It is also 1600/6250 only, and 88780s are pretty rough on
sticky tapes, so don't try using it on anything irreplacable.
Ok, cool, thanks. I checked in the IBM section but didn't find anything
of course. This little bit of trivia helps.
