In theory, however my attempt to do this with an Adaptec SCSI card was
greeted by quite a few oopsen.

It'd work for a while (a few Gb written to tape), but it wasn't by any
means stable.

Who was to blame, I don't know. Maybe it's better under Xen 3, maybe it
was a broken driver which didn't play well under Xen...
