Hi Michael,
Media type is normally just used with jukebox when looking for a tape.
As SDLT320 device can read DLT IV, manually load the tapes in the
drive and issue your scanner command, it should work. Media type
should be back as SDLT320 as per "scanner-m" as it is mediatype
from the device that created media record in mediadb.
Take care for not mixing these tapes with your SDLT320 ones if any,
write operation to these old mediums will fail (DLT Iv are read-only
in SDLT320 drives)
If it refuses (I doubt), recreate your tape reader using
DLT7000 media type and start your scanner cmds.

Subject: [Networker] Question about old media type
I have some old tapes (DLT IV, they say), that I need to scan. I have only
a SDLT320 tape drive to scan them on. If I don't specify something like
"-t dlt", it will mark the media type as "sdlt320" (since that is the
drive type), While I don't really mind that, I'd like to specify the
actual tape type. But I'm not finding a table of values, so I can choose
the right one. Anyone know what the type should be? The tape itself says
"Compaq DLTape IV" on it.
