Hello,

I had a similar problem with a Seagate STT3401A Travan ide tape drive.

It was reporting:
ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, ...

After some research, I found the solution on Seagates web site:
http://www.certance.com/support/kb/tape/faq/travan40_redhat.html

# rmmod ide-tape
# rmmod ide-scsi
# modprobe ide-scsi

The tape drive now works with the device name /dev/st0, for example:
# tar cf /dev/st0 /etc

Regards,
Christopher.
