I can't advise about the AIX driver situation, but in order to have a 
device work under DOS/MERGE you will probably have to add it to /etc/dosdev
- see pages 8-23 thru 8-27 of the DOS MERGE User's and Administrators Guide.

In particular you probably want to duplicate the example on the bottom of 
page 8-26 replacing the name and numbers with the particular information 
about your tape drive's ports and memory addresses.
