Can anybody tell me what the purpose and "secret" of the default mount 
entries is/are:

\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 

I would like to work with my scsi tape drive "/dev/st0" from the likes of "tar" 
"afio" "dd" etc. 

What's the secret to accessing those devices? Is it environment settings? 
Which ones - what's the syntax.

Many thanks,


Urs
