That's a good point - I had forgotten that there were two varieties.

My drive probes as:

(ahc0:3:0): "ARCHIVE Python 28388-XXX 4.98" type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0(ahc0:3:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x13,  drive empty

And the tape was written on an SGI Indigo 2, not that I have any idea
what kind of tapes those use.

Any clues as to how to find this kind of information out?
