  I've hooked Exabyte 8mm drives to several HP 9000/3xx systems.  The best
success I had was using a device driver that the company I bought it from 
supplied (Perfect Byte).  However, HP-UX 6.5 and 7.x do include an 
unsupported scsi tape driver.  Look in /etc/master to start.  Someone may be
able to provide you with minor numbers for different modes.
