Your Quantum DLT-V4 tape drive reads and writes DLTtape VS1 data
cartridges unless they have been previously written with VS 160 format.
Your DLT-V4 tape drive can read (but not write to) DLTtape IV data
cartridges previously written with the DLT1/VS80 format and VS1 data
cartridges previously written with the VS 160 format.
Note: The tape drive automatically ejects any data cartridges whose
format it cannot read. Make sure all data cartridges that you
use for data backup are Quantum DLTtape VS1 data
cartridges.
