I've got a 3M DCD drive that's very similar--fixed multi-track head.
I've never seen a practical use for it, however, given the terribleness
of old QIC carts.
DEI also re-packaged the Exabyte 8mm transports in their own enclosures
with their own LCD readouts. I've got one such drive here.

I came across this, and noticed that this early of a DEI model was not yet
archived at
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dei
I'm not sure that it is scanned to the requirements of bitsavers, but I
don't have access to the original, so I offer this if it is usable or of
interest to anyone here.
I'll probably also post it on one of my sites, at http://QICreader.com
I also just acquired this DEI 301034-2 QIC Tape Drive, and have begun to
reverse-engineer it.
