hardware compression

[Terzo]

I've got an exabit tape drive and i'm trying to read several tapes that
people are sending me and i can't read them.  when i take it over to the
sun box that has a similar exabit  i can read it using the
/dev/<something>/<something>"h"  and i know the h is hardware compression
on sun.  well i don't have /dev/st0h on the linux box.  how do i enable
hardware compression.  is it possible?
