DLT 4000 drivers?

I am using a Quantum DLT 4000 tape drive on a PowerMac G4 with OS 10.1.5
I'd like to use the Terminal application, which is based on BSD 4.4, to see the tape drive and write backup tapes to it.
First, is there a way to list all the devices attached to the computer? And secondly, is there a way to show a description of what each device is - I know that some items in the /dev folder are not physical devices.
Where can I find software on the internet that will allow me to communicate with the tape drive via Unix?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Description
       Prior to Version 2.0, this device was referenced by tmscp(4).

       The  TMSCP  driver  provides  a standard tape drive interface, as described in This is a driver for any controller that adheres to the Tape
       Mass Storage Control Protocol (TMSCP).  The TMSCP controllers communicate with the host through a packet-oriented protocol termed the  Tape
       Mass  Storage  Control Protocol.  This driver also supports n-buffered reads and writes to the raw tape interface (used with streaming tape
       drives).  See for further details.

Tape Support
       TK50, TK70, TF70, TU81, TU81e, TA78, TA79, TA81, RV20, TA90, TA90E, TA91

Diagnostics
       All diagnostic messages are sent to the error logger subsystem.
