I believe the model numbers are something like:

	Drive model		Capacity
	-----------		--------
	DLT-2000 (aka TZ-87)	10/20G (on CompacTape III)
	DLT-2000XT 		15/30G (needs CompacTape III-XT)
	DLT-4000 (aka TZ-88)	20/40G (on CompacTape IV)
	DLT-7000		35/70G (on CompacTape IV)

and i've heard rumours about:
	DLT-10000		50/100G (on CompacTape IV)
