I wouldnt be surprised if the drive is "related" to a 5945C I have. This is
a QIC-36 drive. If my supposition is correct (based on the floppy connector
you mention), you will need a special QIC02/QIC36 controller, and the
software to go with it.

Subject: Archive Cartridge Tape Drive 5540C
Hi all,
Anybody know how to access the above running under either DOS or Linux? It
has a 5.25" floppy connector on it. I don't have any drivers for it (do I
need them?), just a QS.EXE (QuicStream?) archive DOS app which pukes with a
divide overflow error during its "Initializing tape drives" phase. Knoppix
doesn't even see it during HW detection. Any config pointers?
Thanks.
