Actually external SCSI tape drives are relatively immune to problems of
this kind. One can unplug it (hot) and then reset the relevant scsi bus
(which is to be dedicated). I do this with NetBSD and it's ok 99% of the
time. However ejecting the media may not work if it's jammed. If it has
to be an all-in-one solution, imho, put the tape drive in a removable
cradle that plugs in from the front so you can remove it if necessary.
