not worth the time to wrack my brain to remember which. Perhaps IBM was
fond of Tandberg, but everyone else was fond of Archive. I have a guy I
sell tape drives to in batches and most of what he requests are the
Archive 2150S. He's a repair shop with lots of gubment contracts.

Exactly. Almost all the older RS/6000 server-class systems had an IBM
branded Tandberg QIC drive. I'm not familiar with the AS/400, but they
might well have used them also.
Are you sure you're not thinking of Archive? I find more Archive 2150S
drives than anything else in old machines.
FWIW, I've never seen Archives on IBM (I suppose you are thinking of AS/400,
S/36 and the likes), but loads of Tandbergs.
