We have 3480 tape drive connected to a SC2000..
You will have to get in touch with Sun Consult ( I do not have the number) -
they will send you a 1/4" tape of the device driver for the tape drive (IBM)..
the tape/documentation would cost you a couple of hundred bucks...
Good Luck....

I bought a Fujitsu FJT2485B 3480 single tape cartridge drive from
Following are the answers to my question.
Concorde Technologies about a year ago. It's attached to a Sun 630MP.
We don't use it much, but it seems to work. I think the Storage Technology
unit is heavier duty, but it costs more, too.
