Replacing tape drive in RS/6000 7025 F40 running AIX 4.2.1?

I've just landed in a situation where an old IBM RS/6000 7025 F40 running AIX 4.2.1 has had it's tape drive fail. The tape drive in question is an HP C1533A 4mm 4GB/8GB DAT drive. It repeatedly gets write failures, and my trusty techique of whacking the cleaning tape in hasn't worked. Unfortunately...

NAME

       pdc - processor-dependent code (firmware)

DESCRIPTION

       is  the firmware that implements all processor-dependent functionality, including initialization and self-test of the processor.  Upon com-
       pletion, it loads and transfers control to the initial system loader (isl(1M)).	Firmware behavior varies somewhat, depending on the  hard-
       ware as described below.

       To  load from an external medium, must know the particular device on which resides.  Typically the device is identified by the Primary Boot
       Path that is maintained by in Stable Storage.  A path specification is an I/O subsystem mnemonic that varies according to hardware model.

       When the processor is reset after initialization and self-test complete, reads the Console Path from Stable Storage, and attempts  to  ini-
       tialize the console device.  If the initialization fails, attempts to find and initialize a console device.  Algorithms used to find a con-
       sole device are model-dependent.  then announces the Primary Boot, Alternate Boot, and Console Paths.

       If (see isl(1M)) is enabled, provides a 10-second delay, during which time the operator can override the sequence by typing  any  character
       on the console.	If the operator does not interrupt this process, initializes and reads from the Primary Boot Path.  On models that support
       autosearch, if this path is not valid and (see isl(1M)) is enabled, then searches to find a bootable medium.

       If allowed to complete, a list of potentially bootable devices is displayed, labeled with abbreviated path identifiers (P0,  P1,  etc).	 A
       simple menu is then displayed where the user can:

	      o  Boot a specific device, using the abbreviated path identifier, or the full mnemonic.

	      o  Start	a  device search where the contents are searched for IPL images (note the first search only identified devices and did not
		 check the contents).

	      o  Enter the boot administration level.

	      o  Exit the menu and return to autobooting

	      o  Get help on choices

       If the sequence is unsuccessful, overridden by the operator, or not enabled in the first place, interactively prompts the operator for  the
       Boot Path to use.  Any required path components that are not supplied default to zero.

       The Primary Boot, Alternate Boot, and Console Paths as well as and enable can be modified via
