Emulex TC02 and Qualstar Tape Drive

This is my latest project. I have an Emulex TC02 that I want to use with a
pertec formatted Qualstar tape drive, model 1260.

The TC02 is plugged into a Vax 4000/400, hobbyist openvms version 7.2. It
is curious but when I start the Vax it does not see the TC02, this is at
the console prompt stage, >>>> show dev does not list the tape controller,
but >>>> show qbus lists it as a tsv05. Is this correct?

Anyway when I boot the Vax VMS does list an MSA0: drive but it is not
online or available, just what does this mean?

I also have a Dilog DQ3153, but no cables to attach the drive.

Anyone have success with hooking a Qualstar to a Vax or PDP?
