I have found this forum, when it comes to tape backup and Linux, to be
very good.

Especially this one might help you if you have a problem.

Here is some more info I found:
"I don't have the 8 GB, but I do have the 5 GB drive working. You need
to make sure that support for the IDE/ATAPI tape drive is compiled
into your kernel. Once your kernel supports IDE/ATAPI tape drives,
you should be able to access your drive via /dev/ht0 or /dev/nht0
(no rewind)."
