Here is the tapetype I got for my HP SorageWorks 960
Ultrium 3 unit.

Hopefully it will help others.

define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
   comment "just produced by tapetype prog (hardware compression off)"
   length 386048 mbytes
   filemark 0 kbytes
   speed 49993 kps
}

FYI, I found that I got faster speeds with LTO3 by using larger than the default blocksize of 32KB. My nightly amanda backups get ~70MB/s using 2MB blocks.
