Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I do not see the SCSI controller module or tape module loaded.
Try:
modprobe aic7xxx
modprobe st
Once the moduls are loaded you should be able to see the tape drives.
If cat /proc/scsi/scsi doesn't show the tape drives then look at the output of dmesg again.
The HP should be /dev/st0 and the DEC /dev/st1
The SCSI cable needs to be terminated on each end of the cable. The controller it usually one end. There should be a bus terminator on the last device on the cable. It could be built in to the drive or a device that attaches to the cable or to one of the conectors on the device.
