    The A/UX 2.0 "tc" driver supports it.  It probably will treat the drive
    as a MaxStream 150 (160?), due to the way the drive reports capacity.
    This would only be a minor annoyance, and not a problem if you don't
    try to write all the way to end-of-tape.

    Disclaimer: I only tested with the larger drive, and Apple doesn't
    "advertise" support of the Archive drive with the tc driver.  It was
    feasible to put it in, I did it, and it seems to work.  No guarantee
    what tech support would tell you if there was a problem...though the
    folks at Archive do know we did the work, since we adapted their
    driver to fit into tc.
