Allegedly, the following programs can be used to talk to an Exabyte tape
from a SCSI card (such as the IN-2000) under DOS:

	Backit fro Gazelle

	Systos +

	Novaback from Novastor (or vice versa)

I have'nt tried any of these, but am about to take the plunge myself and
would also be interested in additional information.
