Parallel Tape Drive on Ultra 5?

Hello. Maybe a Solaris guru can help me out.

I would like to connect a parallel QIC tape drive to an Ultra 5 to write backups.

Is this possible? If I remember my Unix edu years ago, there is a way to tell the system that there is blocking device on the parallel port.

Thanks for your time. If there is a way, this will *really* speed up backups.
