SCSI tape drives are:
crw-rw-rw-   2 root     root       9,   0 Feb 19  1997 /dev/st0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       9,  96 Feb 19  1997 /dev/st0a
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       9,  32 Feb 19  1997 /dev/st0l
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       9,  64 Feb 19  1997 /dev/st0m

If you have more than one you can create /dev/st1 and so on

The SCSI tapes are assigned to st[0-9] in the order that they are recognised
at boot time.
