Sata Tape Drives

Or, more clearly: Are SATA tape drives supported? I see they are on  
some other BSD flavors, but I haven't found any mention in the FreeBSD  
hardware compatibility documents.

Will the OS just see a tape drive on a SATA controller as a  
sequential-access SCSI device the way it sees SATA disks as SCSI block  
devices?
