I wouldnt be surprised if the drive is
"related" to a 5945C I have. This
is
a QIC-36 drive. If my supposition is correct (based on
the floppy
connector
you mention), you will need a special QIC02/QIC36
controller, and the
software to go with it.

Subject: Archive Cartridge Tape Drive 5540C
Hi all,
Anybody know how to access the above running under either DOS or Linux?
It
has a 5.25" floppy connector on it. I don't
have any drivers for it (do I
need them?), just a QS.EXE (QuicStream?) archive DOS app which pukes with
a
divide overflow error during its "Initializing
tape drives" phase.
Knoppix
doesn't even see it during HW detection. Any
config pointers?
Thanks.

Divide overflow is a common problem running older software on a much faster
new machine. Try slowing your machine down or running the drive on a system
of the same vintage.
