  The MP-8436 by MP Tapes reads and writes tape formats compatible with the IBM 3480, 3490, and 3490E. The most advanced tools available were used for the design of the 8400 series tape drives... The IBM 3490 Enhanced Capability (3490E) F Models are designed to provide outstanding tape subsystem performance, high cartridge capacity, high reliability, and operational efficiency while facilitating remote tape operations. The M2488E/EA/EF tape drives read and write 36 track tapes in IBM compatible format. The M2488E has virtually the same features as the M2488C drive, but has the added benefit of 36-track read capability.
