    I do not know the SCSI RAID controller. If it can independent from it's
    RAID functionality - and that is an important fact too, if your SCSI DAT
    tape drive is LVD too like the hard drives - be used for a single SCSI
    device, then you can plug in the DAT drive too. If the controller is
    only a RAID controller, or no separate SCSI connector is free, or your
    DAT tape drive is not LVD and thus would switch down the whole SCSI bus
    to non-LVD speed then it is need that you build in an own SCSI
    controller card for the tape drive. Of course that card has not to be a
    RAID controller too. Check which SCSI type the tape drive is and then
    get a controller card serving that SCSI tape with an outside connector.
