It should say ST0 not st also the dat drive is good i use to use it with an adaptec scsi card which that driver saw it. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

If you cat /proc/scsi/scsi, does it show up? If not, check your cabling (especially terminators).

There are no "drivers" for most SCSI devices because they conform to one of the generics: disk, tape, CD, etc.
