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.
