Hi Markus
IBM is no longer developing drivers for the 3575-series of libraries.
However, the old drivers are still supported. Thats why you can use it on
AIX, SUN and HP/UX(which your link states).
However, try running it with for example Linux, and you'll find out that
the Atape driver for Linux doesnt support 357X devices.
As new operating systems are introduced, no further development of drivers
will occur for the 357X devices.
So, it's more of a definition of support. Yes, it supported with the old
existing drivers. No, it's not supported for new operating systems.
Best Regards
Daniel Sparrman

where is that info from? I didn´t find anything about eos in the IBM pages
searching for 3575. In fact it only quotes having to use the IBM driver
starting 5.1. I hope it´s just a roumor...
If not, I would be highly interested where to find more. It´s still in the
list of supported devices:
