You might consider using ide-scsi in place of ide-tape.  The kernel module comes with Fedora, and is what I use for accessing my internal IDE tape unit under RHEL3 (2.4).  Another trick is to stick the IDE drive into an external USB enclosure, then use usb_storage.  Kind of a sideways solution, but you may find it suitable.
