Path should be 56/52.0.0 - assuming you have disconnection the internal dds
drive.

Otherwise, pick one of the following not already in use and modify the scsi
address switch of the tape drive accordingly:

56/52.1.0
56/52/2.0
56/52/3.0
56/52.4.0
56/52.5.0
56/52.6.0 (this one is normally the address of the included ldev 1 disk drive)
