If you configure the DLT8000 as type dlt and the SDLT 
as dlt2 then when you create your storage units you 
create on of type dlt and another as type dlt2 then NBU 
will manage the selection of the media you create 
(density dlt and dlt2).  This should work just fine for 
both of those tape types.

I hope this answers your question.
