Nothing special just rewind, fsf, ...
The density or compression stuff is not needed.

That's a rewind using FreeBSD mt:
   679 mt       CALL  open(0xbfbff86e,0,0x6)
   679 mt       NAMI  "/dev/nrsa0"
   679 mt       RET   open 3
   679 mt       CALL  ioctl(0x3,MTIOCTOP,0xbfbff5c4)
   679 mt       RET   ioctl 0

And here what claims to be a rewind with the linux app:
   682 tapeexercise CALL  open(0xbfbff8a8,0x2,0)
   682 tapeexercise NAMI  "/compat/linux/dev/nrsa0"
   682 tapeexercise NAMI  "/dev/nrsa0"
   682 tapeexercise RET   open 3
   682 tapeexercise CALL  ioctl(0x3,0x40086d01 ,0xbfbff634)
   682 tapeexercise RET   ioctl -1 errno -22 Unknown error: -22
   682 tapeexercise CALL  ktrace(0x810b000)
   682 tapeexercise RET   ktrace 135311360/0x810b000
   682 tapeexercise CALL  write(0x2,0xbfbfcb9c,0x3e)
   682 tapeexercise GIO   fd 2 wrote 62 bytes
       "tapeexercise: rewind ioctl failed, errno 22: Invalid argument
       "
