I've been using LTO drives for the last 5+ years.<br>
<br>
I now need to understand DLT drive / media compatibility and I'm totally lost.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know a website that shows a simple matrix of all the media<br>
and drive types with a check box if it is compatible?<br>
<br>
Seems like a simple question, but I've looked at the Wikipedia entry<br>
and I know less now than when I started. (Or maybe it is truer to say<br>
my level of ingnorance was increased by reading the wikipedia entry.)<br>

<br>
Apparently there are 10 kinds of media and 19 kinds of drives and<br>
there are branches in the tree.<br>
<br>
We want to be able to read as many different kinds of DLT as we can<br>
cost effectively.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
