I don't know which model you mean with 'DLT1', but I had a DLT4000,
which worked without problems.  Now I own a DLT7000, the best tape drive
I ever had.  DLTs are very fast, you possibly need to tune your disk
configurations, so that the disks can source the amount of data the tape
drive swallows per second.

AFAIK, DLT drives have correct SCSI implementations.  You surely won't
run into problems with any DLT.
