The 40SC is a "block addressable" tape.

With the original Retrospect which came with the drive, you could  
"mount" the tape and then access it as if it was a disk drive.

The later Retrospect uses the drive conventionally.

The drive is actually a 3M drive, which 3M abandoned shortly after it  
was introduced.

The A/UX software for the WGS95 was originally distributed on 40SC  
tapes.

Apple later went with HP DDS drives for its server products.
