[ILUG] tape drives

I have a new Dell OptiPlex with a Travan tape drive which takes
8Gb tapes (one tape supplied, how nice of them :-)

a. How do I find out what /dev is assigned to this device?

b. Do I even know if RH 5.2 spotted it during install? All
   the recognition stuff that flashes past at boot time is
   apparently not logged anywhere (ie there's no /var/log/boot.log)

c. If it didn't get recognised, has anyone any suggestions for
   drivers?

///Peter, in need of a backup :-)
