No.

DLT-III, DLT-IIIXT and DLT-IV tapes should all perform correctly in the drive.
 (I do not believe that HP makes the DLT tape medium, it is repackaged under
their name.

Kind regards,

Subject:        DLT4000 requires HP media?

Sorry about so little info in that; lemme try again...
We just installed a new HP DLT4000SE (A3635A), and it works ok with HP media
"HP DLT4" (C5141F) but no other DLT4 tapes work.  Is this normal?
