Den skulle virke med parallel-port tape driveren i Linux 2.2 kernen.
Fra hjælpe-teksten til kerne-konfigurationen:

Parallel port ATAPI tapes
CONFIG_PARIDE_PT
  This option enables the high-level driver for ATAPI tape devices
  connected through a parallel port. If you chose to build PARIDE
  support into your kernel, you may answer Y here to build in the
  parallel port ATAPI disk driver, otherwise you should answer M
  to build it as a loadable module. The module will be called pt.o.
  You must also have at least one parallel port protocol driver in
  your system. Among the devices supported by this driver is the
  parallel port version of the HP 5GB drive.
