The drives inside your 3575 are 3570's, not 3590's.  The 3590 tapes look
like the old 3480 tapes for the MainFrame, as in square.  The 3575 holds
the 3570 Magstar-MP tapes, which are totally different.

3590's are supported, but they cannot be installed inside a 3575.

Then that is what they are....   ;-)
