[ale] Anyone know where I can get a DLT4 drive?

[Greg Freemyer]

Jim,

Thanks for the offer, but ...

If I read HP's website right, that is a LTO drive, not a DLT.

I need a old DLT drive that can read a DLT IV tape recorded at 40/80
density written around 2000.  Anything new can't read that far back I
believe, so I'm stuck with used despite my current frustration with
used DLT drives.  (4 out of 4 failed to work so far.)
