I have a DLT 8000 and an SDLT 220.

I don't have anything running current, but I have a spare machine which =
I could use for testing.

Do you see any value is tests with that hardware? I'd be testing it via =
Bacula.

disclosure: I'm the sysutils/bacula-* maintainer and a Bacula committer.

I'll let the other Bacula devs know about this.  They deal with the =
hardware.  I work on PostgreSQL.
