anyone know how I can read this old python tape drive

[sparks]

Was going thru a bunch of old hardware I had and found my old python 1.3G tape drive.
I have a lot of old tapes and wanted to see what was on them.
I found the old 2940 scsi controller and put it all on an old system with xp pro.
In the hardware the card and drive show up fine.
I found my old copy of novaback, I believe that is what I used to write some of the last tapes.

Well the software does not see the drive.
I can not find anything that will allow me to read the tapes or even see the drive as a connected device.
Is there something else I need to do ?
Some driver or something?

thanks for any help its just been tooooo long since I messed with a tape drive.
