Yup... I have it built directly in. If I cat /proc/scsi/sg/device_strs
I get:

 webby:/proc/scsi/sg# cat device_strs 
ARCHIVE         Python 00095-001        5.45

which is the tape drive. I also noticed that I don't have any /dev/sg*
devices. I have st's, sr's, nst's, sd's, etc., but no sg's.

webby:/proc/scsi/sg# mt -f /dev/st0 status
mt: /dev/st0: No such device

The same for all of the other st devices.
