It really isn't a problem if the device is says it's a "rogue" - that 
only means that we don't know anything specific about the drive.  The
only time this is a problem is if "what we don't know hurts us."

In my case, I had to invent a new quirk for the EXB-8200 to force it to
use 1K-byte fixed block sizes.  In your case, you'll have to do some
debugging to see:

	1. if your tape drive works,
	2. if not, what breaks, 
	3. what has to be done to fix it, and
	4. how to code that up into a "quirk"

There's no quick and easy answer.  :(
