With some MO drives, there is a magic cookie that you need to send the thing before the drive will be accessible. There are some things in scsi.c where we send this cookie for some IOMEAGA drives - you could start by taking a look to see whether this is being used with this drive or not. If not, it is worth a try to try and send this cookie and see whether that does the trick.
