Reading Windows written DLT Tapes on Linux

I have a DLT IV tape written at 35GB density I believe on a Windows machine using disk extender. I want to be able to just read the bytes off of it on a Linux box using a DLT 8000 drive. Is that possible?

You ask this in an HP-UX forum because ...?

Knowing nothing, I'd assume that "dd" would
be able to read the data. Making sense of
these data is a different problem.
