show scsi shows the KZQSA bit doesn't show any devices under it like
what show dev shows for the RF35 disks on the system.
I'm about to find a LInux box to put the tape on to make sure that its
not the tape drive...

 SCSI gets probed at boot time.  You might try a
 "show device" or "show scsi" at the consol prompt
">>>"
 to see if it can see it.
  What happens when you do a 'SHO DEV MK'?
For example:
 $ sho dev mk
 Device                  Device           Error    Volume         Free
  Trans
 Mnt
 Name                   Status           Count     Label        Blocks
 Count
 Cnt
 MONK$MKA500:            Online               0
 $
 Though the above is a on a PWS 433au running OpenVMS 7.2-1H1 and the
 drive
 is a DEC TLZ06 (4mm DAT).

 Try this
    run sys$system:sysgen
    SYSGEN> autoconf all
 then do the "sho dev mk" again.
