Yes, I've used this drive and the same tapes (tried several) on the
same hardware under a different OS.

I did replace the drive last night with a slightly newer model, and the
replacement works.  I suspect there is some strange interaction between
the driver and the firmware which is causing problems using this particular
drive, but only under FreeBSD.
