Well, the tape drive company said I'd not be able to get a device name for the tape drive until it got out of its funk (the famous blinking-red-light funk), it would not have a name. It never cured itself, so I'm getting a replacement model and sending back the one I have. So... the nameless drive never needed to be named. It was a firewire device, so I didn't need to play any scsi games. Thanks for the info, though. I'm gonna give it a shot when I get the new drive in.
