Just a data point..  I've been using different models of DLT drives on
pmax, alpha and i386 for years.  pmaxen have a built-in SCSI controller,
and I've used an Adaptec 1542 ISA SCSI card on the Alpha and a no-name
NCR PCI SCSI card on alpha and i386.

As Matthew Jacob suggested, sounds like a controller issue.
