Lots of other people already wrote about the software. I'll only warn
about ATAPI. I could not get my drive (HP/Colorado 5000) to work
reliably. It would seem to work for a while but then start failing
mysteriously in the middle of a tape, always nearly at the same spot
(and the tapes were OK, I'm sure of it). I got the source for the
last version of the driver and compiled it, it didn't help.
Then I bought the cheapest SCSI drive I could find and it works
perfectly.
