[rescue] OT: can a tape device be mounted?

I just had a thought, could a DLT Drive be conveniently mounted and used to 
store-retrieve large files directly?  i.e. without spooling them to hard disk?

The reason I ask, is the idea of storing digital video on them, much like the 
idea of the DAT tape...  (How many feature length MPEG movies could you store 
on a 30 or 40 gig DLT?)

?
