Check your dmesg output to make sure that the device is actually getting
assigned.
Also, make sure that your SCSI cable has a terminator. Since the tape
is the only thing on the cable and these were both inside another
machine, you absolutely need a terminator.
The cable should go:
| | | | |
SCSI|------|TAPE|-----|Term|
CARD| | | | |
| | | | |
The SCSI card should be at one end of the cable, the terminator should
be in the *last connector* at the other end of the cable, and the tape
should be somewhere in between.
If you accidentally reversed the cable or there was another device which
did the termination before, it can cause mysterious initialization problems.
