I use PMK in a Jobo rotary processor. Used the same way as I would use any
other developer, it gives thinner negatives. It helps a lot to fill the
tank up as full as possible, and process that way. Gives less room for
oxidation, I believe.

I use Jobo 1500 and 2500 drum tanks. The 4x5 negatives processed in the
2509 reel are evenly processed, not as described in the pyro book.

By the way, I never use T-Max 100. It does not make sharp images, IMHO.
