Archive was the originator of the Python, later
Peregrine, tape drives. Connor bought Archive around
1993. Seagate bought Connor about 1996. You will find
utilities and information on Seagate, Internet Archive
about 2000 is good.

4MMDAT4 and 4MMDAT5 support the Microcode update
process for the IBM internal 3.5" & 5.25" 4mm 4/10GB
SCSI tape Drives. The product codes of the tape drives
are 74G8632 (3.5" drive) and 76G8631 (5.25" drive). This
utility uses the SCSI host adapter card used to connect
the tape drives to the PC to update the microcode of the
tape drive for non-RAID systems.
Description 4 mm
Tape Drive attaches to any system using a SE SCSI-II
Standard ANSI X3.131-199X Rev. 10h.
Data Transfer Rate: 400 to
1600KBps (183Kbs for 2GB) 1000KBps is typical with
Data Compression (732Kbs for 2GB). Data compression
hardware, contained in the tape drive, is controlled by
the system software .
Status light: Indicates
when it is time to clean the tape path.
Internal diagnostics:
Activated when 4-mm Diagnostic Cartridge is loaded into
drive. System intervention not required to run these
internal diagnostics.
Media Recognition System:
Only 'data grade' media can be used with this tape
drive.
DDS3
Tape unable to be read after use with IBM 4/10GB 4mm
DAT SCSI tape drive
The IBM 4/10GB 4mm DAT SCSI Tape Drives (Option p/n
74G8631 for the 5.25" form factor drive, and Option p/n
74G8632 for the 3.5" form factor drive) should not be
used with a DDS3 tape cartridge. If a DDS3 tape is used
with the 4/10GB 4mm DAT drives, the drives will not be
able to read the information from a DDS3 cartridge once
the cartridge has been ejected from the 4/10GB 4mm tape
drive.
Testing the 4 mm Tape Unit w/o
Using the System.
Make sure that all system
activity for the 4mm Tape Drive has been properly
halted.
Unload and eject any tape
cartridge from the drive.
Make sure the power to the
tape drive is turned off.
Turn the power-on to the
tape drive.
The following should
occur to the 4 mm Tape Drive.
1. Two green
status lights and amber status light for 2 seconds to
test the LED's.
2. Read-Write
and Disturbance lights will turn off and Ready light
will flash, indicating the 4 mm Tape Drive POST is
running.
3. Ready
status light is turned off after appr. 15 seconds,
indicating POST has completed successfully. Follow
instructions shipped with Diagnostic Cartridge to
complete testing of the 4 mm Tape Drive.
