Re: Recognizing size of DLT media
I am not sure if I understand your question correct. A DLT IV media can be written with different sizes depending on the drive (DLT4000/7000/8000). If a used tape is loaded into a drive the front panel LEDs will show the media format. But, I can see no way without loading the tape in a drive.

SolutionIIIXT max capacity is 30GB (compressed 2:1)
IV max capacity is 80GB (compressed 2:1). Real capacity depends on which drive is used to write data: DLT4000 (40GB), DLT7000 (70GB), DLT8000 (80GB). In this case you can not 'see' how much is stored on the tape :o)

Re: Recognizing size of DLT media
The "problem" is that DLT medias can be written in different formats. This is perhaps uniq for DLT medias. For example DAT or Ultrum medias there is one cartridge for each media format (e.g DDS2,DDS3,DDS4).
