I am assuming this is a IDE TApe drive of sorts yes?
If so, then you also need to "insmod ide-scsi"
If its IDE, then what channel is it connected to?
hda? hdb? hdc? hdd? etc etc.

If its "/dev/hdc", then and you use grub as your bootloader:
at the end of the "/kernel" line, add "hdc=ide-scsi"

Then "modprobe ide-scsi" and re-run "cdrecord -scanbus"

If its connected to the above listed SCSI controller, then the issue is
you do not seem to have the driver loaded. Hence nothing is seen on is
/proc/scsi/scsi

I *think* the driver is ini9100u (google is your friend here), so try
insmodding it and try again.

I must add that I have never used the above scsi controller, so this may
be all bull :)
