Yes, it will work with wt if you have an Archive QIC-02 adapter card for it. (model SC-402 is what I've used) However, many of these were sold with QIC-02 cards that were made by other manufacturers, which were merely paddle cards where most of the control was implemented in a software driver. Those will not work. Good luck getting it running - if you can get it going then most likely your biggest problem will be finding DC600 cartridges for it.
