Hi Keven
To the best of my knowloedge, DC100 tapes are physical identical to DC600
tapes, so there is no way you can read it on DC2120 drives.
DC100's are so "vintage", that they are pre-SCSI. I would expect a QIC-02
or
QIC-36 formatting, implying that it needs its own controller.

Subject: Reading DC100a tapes
I have a friend who has a DC100a tape with no way
to read it. Just wondering if anyone here can and
get data onto a pc.
I do have a Colorado Jumbo 250 that I have used
DC 2120 QIC-80 tapes with. But don't know
if that would read DC100a tapes.
