RE: IBM 7208-342 tape drive on a PC?

I'm not familiar with the 7208 but I've never had issues using any
iSeries or AS/400 SCSI equipment on a regular SCSI-equipped PC.  I've
used the disk drives & tape drives before.  The PC backup software
should see it as either the specific model if it natively supports it or
as "SCSI tape drive" or somesuch if it isn't aware of a 7208.  Either
way it should work fine.

Anyone know if it's possible to use an IBM 7208-342 tape drive on a PC
with a scsi card?
