   In fact, you HAVE to use DLT-IV just to get 20GB.  DLT-III in a DLT4000 
maxes out at 15GB, IIRC.  My own tests on a 4000 just a few weeks ago 
produced this tapetype:

define tapetype DLT4000 {
    comment "Quantum 20/40GB DLT"
    length 19370 mbytes
    filemark 0 kbytes
    speed 1395 kps
}

  These is an average over three runs with three different tapes.  It 
seems pretty accurate so far.
