   There is no _real_ difference -- it's just a convenience so that the
administrator can differentiate between two media types. As Larry Kingery
pointed out last week, "NBU won't put a DLT2 tape in a DLT drive, or vice
versa. While there are some combinations that are valid, the different types
are there specifically to say that these are DIFFERENT types."
