First, sorry, I forgot to mention that I was using SunOS 4.1.3, but I think
that st_conf.c gave that away...

This list is terrific!
Most answered to use the following configuration in st_conf.c:

/* Exabyte 8mm 5GB cartridge w/ compression */
{
        "Exabyte EXB-8505 8mm Helical Scan", 16, "EXABYTE EXB-8505",
        ST_TYPE_EXB8500, 1024,
        (ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR | ST_LONG_ERASE),
        5000, 5000,
        { 0x14, 0x15, 0x90, 0x8C },
        { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
},
