DLT Tapes (was: Exabyte Mammoth)

[Mike Henderson]

I have used Digital / Quantum brand, Compaq brand [these are
probably all Quantum ones in fact], and Fuji brand.  No noticeable
differences except in price!  Oh yes, this includes CompacTape III
(regular & XL varieties) and CompacTape IV.

My $0.02
