Go into the tape-src's directory and type "make tapetype"
That will make you a drive definer that you can then run against 
that drive.  Be sure and turn any hardware compression off before 
starting as that can make the /dev/urandom data grow a bit and give 
a falsely small size.  Then leave it off...  Forever.  Use software 
which takes time, but compresses much better.
