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

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

When pointing people to this command, please don't forget that they
should better add the "-e 400g" option too.

Without the -e option the runtime of this command is measured in days
(maybe weeks for this kind of tapecapacity!!!) instead of 4-8 hours.
