You may want to compare your drive to the documentation on the
HP 88780 under bitsavers/pdf/hp/tape
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.
