I've never had problems with DAT drives sharing the same bus as other 
SCSI devices either

ahc0: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem

On one of my other systems however, I've had problems with this drive 
sharing a bus on an AHA-1542CF card,

da2 at aha1 bus 0 target 2 lun 0
da2: <SEAGATE SX910800N 8514> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
da2: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 7)
da2: 8669MB (17755614 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 8669C)

... and have had to put it on its own SCSI bus on an AHA-1542B card.  
Yet, the another drive of the same model attached to an AHA-1542CP on 
another system has no problems (running at 10 MHz clock rate).

I think that the issue is entirely device dependent.
