There is a certain amount of Q.A. on documentation, mainly in the form of
developers receiving and reviewing it, but since that is hardly our job
description and because there is such an immense amount of it, some things
slip through the cracks. If you feel there is a real error in documentation
whether by giving erroneous information or by omission you can call IBM
level 1 support and report it.

The answer to this is yes, it is standard QIC, I have written tapes on a
PS/2 running AIX and read them just fine on turnkey, which is an AT-bus
clone running 386/ix.

Disclaimer: IMHO only.
