IIRC (and thats debatable as this is old memory) a number of the compaq

array cards do *not* support tape devices behind the scsi bus. it was

only intended for connecting further disks to.
i think its expected to see it in the bios though even if it can't be

used in pass-through configuration.
if this applies to your device, it will be documented in the 5300

technical info.
