IDE tape drive question

2001-06-03 Thread Ed Lawson
I am trying to use an IDE tape drive with Debian.  The drive is 
identified during boot, but I am lost on how to access it.
Under SuSE and RH and as much of the documentation on tape drives 
mentions, there
is a /dev/ht0 device for such drives.  I see nothing similar in /dev/ on 
my Debian box. How does one go about accessing an IDE tape drive under 
Debian?
Or, where is the documentation for the process?

TIA
