I've got an STK9714 handy and although I haven't tried it with Linux yet,
it has a fairly simple SCSI command set (query tape/drive elements, move
tape, get barcode, etc.). Should be accessible through the generic SCSI
devices.
There's also the ACSAPI interface, which provides higher-level
management and catalogueing, and might be what you're thinking of.
StorageTek doesn't have a Linux version of this as far as I know, but you
do get the source with the development kit.
