Reading 9-track tapes in Linux

Could this be a driver issue ? I would verify that the
tape drive you're using is set up in the SCSI tape
subsystem. I went through a similar exercise for
Solaris with an Overland tape drive and I had to edit
and recompile st.c in order to correctly deal with the
drive.

What type of tape drive is it - and which
version/flavor of Linux ?
