Does anyone have the tape type for the LTO3 (Quantum) ?

Are there any other parameters I should tweak to get better

This is still a reasonable default ?

I am running the StorEdge C2 jukebox with lto3 drive on a SunFire 280R
under Solaris 9 with 4 gig of memory.

                                                thank you,

Try using this command to determine tapetype:
amtapetype -f /dev/nst0   (/dev/nst0) will be diff for solaris i think
