Is it a scsi tape drive and scsi tape changer?
Then you are probably safe. I had no problem using a HP tapechanger and Dell Powervault 132t for using as backup medium on a Bacula server.
There is a general driver for such hardware.
When you do a scsi bus rescan you should get entries in /dev/tape/... or something.
