DLT medium is physically similar to ancient DEC tapes (not DECtapes - RT50 or something)


Ah yes. The 90Mb capacity TK50. I've still got a couple of TK50 drives (which go with my couple of MicroVAX 2000 machines). DLT (CompacTape IV) cartridges look exactly the same as TK50 (CompacTape I) cartridges.
