you can start with man mt.
youcan also write and read directly to/from the drive by accessing thedevice
name. probably /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0 (st = scsi tape, nst= Non-rewinding scsi
tape) if using the st series of devices the tape will rewind after each
command iirc.
look in dmesg for the tape drive. It should have been detected too I suspect
