First, remove the battery for a few minutes or or reset the bios with the jumpers on the motherboard, to set the bios to it's default, go into the bios and check the scsi settings. Some times motherboards have a dual bios in case of problems like this , refer to the manual. Verify you have the correct bios download with the manufacturer.

If you flashed the incorrect/corrupt firmware and the motherboard does not have a way of erasing it, the bios chip or motherboard will need replacement. If the Bios chip is soldered to the mobo, your out of luck. Sounds like the machine is posting which means you should be able to re-flash the bios if necessary.

Sorry, I got carried away, I believe you mean the Tape drive is not functioning. Most DLT drives function the same, according to the link below, the drive will need to replaced or repaired
