They're not supported, yet.
People are supposedly working on getting them working, but it's
unclear as to when the support will materialize. If I had to take a
wild guess, I'd say that some kind of support will exist by December or
so, and possibly earlier.
[ This is not an official statement -- or even an unofficial one. I've
got very little contact with the people working on the drivers, but I,
too, need some kind of SCSI OnStream support. I can wait until the
end of the year or so; if something doesn't happen by then, I may take
a stab at some kind of SC30 (but not SC50) support. Or, I may not,
depending on how much time I have. ]
