I wonder whether these tapes are smart SCSI devices in the sense that
the host adapter is the one that actually assign their device id (0, 1
and so on)? I believe that such ability of the host adapter and the SCSI
devices is called s.c.a.m and it can explain the randomness of the ids
of your tapes. In any case I believe that the tape with id 0 will always
turn to be st0 and the one with id1 will always turn to be st1.
