I notice that there have been a number of replies to
this
question and, if I might summarize what I have read, it seems
as if the answer depends on if the responder could (or could
not) use the (I believe you have received) the DLT III tapes
(since as far as I know DLT I and DLT II tapes were actually
the CompacTape I, for the TK50, and CompacTape II, for the
TK70).
Thanks Jerome and everyone else for the replies. The seller was a
plain dealer and refunded me for the tapes he shipped since he
couldn't find the actual TK50s. Fair enough.
Wiki's page on DLT has a media chart that these tapes don't exactly fit into:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Linear_Tape
These tapes are labeled "CompacTape III," which isn't listed. I'm
guessing they are DLT III, but according to that chart they're the
wrong color (they're dark gray like a TK50.) My guess is they are
meant for the 2.6gb THZ01/DLT260/Tx85 drives rather than the 10gb
DLT2000 drive.
If anyone can make use of them and wants to pay only shipping, lemme know.
