Issues with SUN PCI Card with External Tape Drive

Does anyone know, why the following Sun PCI Card within a Sun Blade 100 with
Sun Solaris 10 (10/06) does not recognize an external Sony SDT-9000 DDS-3 DAT
Drive ;

LSI Logic SYM22802 Dual HVD SCSI Card SUN 348-0036690A PCI Card

ok> probe-scsi-all

/pci@1f,0/pci@5/scsi@2,1

/pci@1f,0/pci@5/scsi@2

Nothing comes back - even though the Tape Drive is connected via a VHDCI to
50C SCSI Cable via Port A or Port B, the only conclusion would be that this
card is for use with external disk packs and not Tape Drives.

Perhaps I should have gone for the following card instead ;

SUN Swift SCSI & Ethernet PCI Card 501-2741 X1032A

or

SUN X6540A 3750005 SYMBIOS LOGIC SYM22801 PCI SCSI CARD

Has anyone used either card with an external Tape Drive with a Sun Blade 100
running Sun Solaris 10 (10/06)?

My concerns with the card is that the "SUN Swift SCSI & Ethernet PCI Card
501-2741 X1032A" is an old card and if it is supported under Sun Solaris 10
(10/06) on Sun Blade 100.

Has anyone, any recommendations or what PCI cards are they running with
external Tape Drives within a Sun Blade 100 running Sun Solaris 10(10/06) ?

Kind Regards

Geraint
