Odd. I thought RH installed that by default. Wouldn't have mentioned it
otherwise.

Perhaps not. But the --scanbus option lists all devices on all SCSI
buses.
(you need to tell cdrecord which device is the CD recorder). Even if
you don't have a SCSI CD, it should still show all devices. Which is
what you wanted to see - whether your tape was recognized.
Cdrecord 1.9 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg
Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 2.1.39
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'

CD-ROM

0,7,0 7) *
Which shows me that all my SCSI devices (I have only the 2) are seen by
the system. Even the non-CD ones, like the ZIP.
(the middle number is the SCSI ID of that device)
Better yet - look in syslog:

This shows that it found my AdvanSys SCSI adapter; and then lists all
devices attached to that adapter, along with the device names attached
(sda, sr0, etc). It should find ANY devices, block or not, I would
think.
You did either compile in support for SCSI tape drives, or compile it as
a module, and load it?
