It won't work. It looks like a "SCSI tape drive" but it isn't
(I've got the SC30). In my opinion, it's more like a "proprietary SCSI
device", and will require special changes/drivers to work with FreeBSD.
OnStream is supposed to be providing documentation on their drives, but
I wouldn't hold your breath.
