Yes, Qemu detects it's SCSI interface and passes the SCSI commands to devices. But qemu ignores the type of the device but OS (linux) detects this as a tape (with INQUIRY). It works well for CD/DVD and disk, but I'm working with Dietmar to make it working with tape (commands encoding differs)... and I found some devices to test.
