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.

Never eat prunes when you're famished.
My opinion is my own. My employer? They use a windsock and a fire extinguisher.
