The following article from the SCO Information Tools database should help 
with your problem.   I'm posting because I think this may be of general
interest.

Qic-40/Qic-80 format tape drives with SCO XENIX Operating System.

RELEASE: SCO XENIX 386AT or 386 GT Operating System Releases 2.2.3, 2.3.1 
	 and 2.3.2 
         SCO XENIX 286AT Operating System Release 2.2.3

PROBLEM: I am trying to hook up a tape drive that writes in Qic-40/Qic-80
         format to my SCO XENIX 286AT, 386AT or 386GT Operating System 
	 Release 2.2.3, 2.3.1, or 2.3.2

SOLUTION: You need Support Level Supplement (SLS) xnx118, the Qic-40/Qic-80   
          Tape Device Driver.

The letter that comes with SLS xnx118 follows:
