Excuse my ignorance. There's no way to attach a pressure sensitive

No PRACTICAL way that I have found. Any label I have used will foul up the auto-loader, which makes the repair call to fix it billable!

Will IBM send tapes on 3570? Are 3570 tapes totally unique, or 1/2"
cartridges, or what?

No, IBM uses CDs.
