Is thre something I have to do to make linux recognize the card?  Is there
some "auto detect" mode that will find it?  It is the sym53c875 scsi chip
set.
Edit /etc/modules.conf and search for a line with

  alias scsi-hostadapter off

and change it to 

  alias scsi-hostadapter sym53c8xx

Now try to access the tape using the mt utility:

  mt -f /dev/st0 status

now the driver should automatically get loaded and mt report the
status of your tape drive.
