That looks to be the same mechanism in my Hewlett-Packard Sure Store
Tape 5000, but different firmware. You can download flash upgrades
from HP's web site (for PC's, of course). Here's the dmesg output from
that:

st0 at scsibus0 targ 3 lun 0: <HP, HP35480A, T503> SCSI2 1/sequential removable
st0: drive empty

Try to write to it with dd, or just dump a mounted file system:

	dump -OuB 4096000 -b16 /

/dev/nrst0 is the default tape device, so there's no need to specify a
device. You'll need the B4096000 is to override the default size,
which is way too small. See dump(1), restore(1), eject(1).
