Ran a Tapetype for LTO-3 if anyone is interested

Amanda Group
I ran the amtapetype from Amanda 2.5.0p2 last night, took about 6 hours to
complete the estimate:

Model: Quantum Superload 3  LTO-3 16 Tape Library.

define tapetype QS3LTO-3 {
 comment "Quantum Super Loader 3 LTO-3 16 tape library"
 length 448369 mbytes
 filemark 6403 kbytes
 speed 37739 kps
}

I ran amtapetype on /dev/st0 on a debian Testing distribution.
SCSI interface VHDI 68 Pin Ultra 160 connector running on a Adaptec 39160
2 channel SCSI 160 PCI-X interface. Server DELL PE 850 Dual Core P4 3.4
GHZ 4 GB RAM
