I've got a 4300 (one year older than 4400) with a DLT7000 (35/70) drive.
I'll wager a 6-pack of your favorite beverage you've got a DLT8000 (40/80).
For instance, 'dmesg' (on Linux) says:
Vendor: QUANTUM Model: DLT7000 Rev: 2150
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
I see the Faq-o-matic has a DLT8000 entry:

Use the FAQ, Luke. Why bother running tapetype if you don't have to.... :-)
