IBM 7207-001 (Tandberg tdc3600) scsi1 tape drive now working

Back on Feb. 1 or so, I reported to this newsgroup that I was having
trouble getting an IBM Model 7207-001 scsi-1 tape drive to work with
my Linux system.  I am happy to report back that this tape drive
(equivalent to a Tandberg Model tdc3600) is now working just fine.
The tape drive started working when I upgraded the kernel to 2.2.3 and
my system software to Debian 2.1 (slink).  Nothing else special was
done other than to compile scsi tape capability into the kernel.  I am
using mt and tar to operate the tape drive.

1. What exactly is an IBM Type 7207-001 tape drive?

In my surplus dives into the pit of ceaseless junque, this morning,
I chanced across a five buck IBM Type 7027-001 tape drive.  Can anyone
point me to information as to what it is, exactly.  I sure looks like
a Tandberg tape to me, and it seems to have only one scsi input port.
That would suggest it is terminated internally, and was designed to
sit on the end of its scsi bus chain.

Does this critter work on AIX 1 on PS/2 machines, or on AIX 3 on RS6K
machines like my old 7011?

Does it work on non-ibm hardware like Suns or DEC's or such?

What is the capacity of the drive (150mb?)

Thanks

Bob
