My friend is having trouble with SCSI tape on ISC 2.2 - HELP!

Here are the vital statistics:
Running Interactive 2.2
The computer is an XYZ brand (D-squared or something like that)
AMI BIOS
Adaptec 1542B Controller
Wren V drive (which is working perfectly)
Archive 2150S tape drive
Both SCSI devices (disk and tape) are external to the computer
Terminator resistors are installed in the Adaptec card and the
tape drive (which is at the far end of the cable)
The HDD device driver is in use, and it has been configured for a SCSI
tape drive. The device file /dev/tape is there, major number 11, minor
number 1. When trying the command:
tar -tvf /dev/tape
The result is:
NOTICE: Cartridge Tape Controller Not Found
Ct control byte = 000000fa
tar: cannot open /dev/tape
Any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks in advance. Given enough interest, I'll post the outcome of the
problem.
