I'm terribly busy today (I have to give a talk at 3pm), but between the 
end-of-talk and beginning-of-beers-with-other-conference-goers, I'll try 
and whip up a patch for you...

In the mean time, if you want to get your hands dirty on this yourself, 
take a look at the big, ugly, evil, should-be-taken-out-back-and-shot 
if() statement in hp300/dev/st.c:stident():

        if (bcmp("EXB-8200", product, 8) == 0) {
                sc->sc_tapeid = MT_ISEXABYTE;
                sc->sc_datalen[CMD_REQUEST_SENSE] = 26;
                sc->sc_datalen[CMD_INQUIRY] = 52;
                sc->sc_datalen[CMD_MODE_SELECT] = 17;
                sc->sc_datalen[CMD_MODE_SENSE] = 17;
        } else if (bcmp("VIPER 150", product, 9) == 0 ||
                [ . . . ]

...and add an entry as necessary.  Yes, it's horrible.  Yes, it will Go 
Away one day.
