    P.S. These observations come from a DN3000 and DN4000 which have both 350 MB
         disks and cartridge tapes. I assume that the DN3500/4500 use the same
         controllers and I/O bus structure as the DN4000 (which I understand has
         a slightly different bus and the DN3000 -- despite that fact that they
         are all IBM-AT compatible!).

I have heard (but not verified for myself) that the 3500/4500 do not have
the annoying grind-to-a-halt feature that the 3000/4000 have.
