Netware Tape Backup drivers for HP T1000

Help! I’m a high school senior with over three years experience in setting up and maintaining my school district’s wide area network. I’m trying to setup a network at home so that I can practice for my CNA… However, the only tape drive I could getmy hands on was a Hp T1000. It connects through the floppy controller and Netware 5 doesn’t seem to be able to find it. I tried dos drivers and the orginal software (under DOS 6.22) works fine. Also I’ve tried many of the drivers that ship with Netware 5. None of them seemed to work correctly. Can anyone help me with this or tell me if this is possible?
