Hi !
This could be a silly question, but ...
I've found in my garage a Wangtek QIC-36 tape streamer: can it be used to
replace the Archive one in the DN3000/DN3500 ?

My guess is "no," because Archive had its own special interface. Do the connectors look the same? Let us know how it goes if you try it.

chapter 8 and 9 for controller and drive specs
you might run ctape.dex to test the drive (ex dex; r ctape -noq)
