Trouble installing floppy tape drive

I'm having trouble getting my new Colorado Memory Systems floppy
tape drive model DJ-10 to work under Xenix.  It is a mini
cartridge drive which uses the floppy controller so I followed
the installation procedure outlined in the manual for mini tape
drives.  But when I try to format a tape the floppy disk drive
light comes on, the tape fast forwards and rewinds, moves back and
forth a bit more, stops, and I get a message saying I can't open
/dev/rctmini.

The drive works well under DOS so my guess is I need a special driver.
Is this correct?  If so, does anyone have a driver and can you mail
me a copy or tell me where I can find one.   Thanks...

P.S. I'm running SCO Xenix 2.3
