I got this... Now that I look at it the length seems a little short,
but we seem to be using only about 30% of the tape at this point (we
where running ok on the LTO1 but are constantly adding more DLEs).

define tapetype LTO3 {
    comment "just produced by tapetype prog"
    comment "brc, 25-may-2006 using /dev/rmt/3un"
    length 386048 mbytes
    filemark 0 kbytes
    speed 61742 kps
}
