Description

( To get the code of the subversion repo: svn co https://oss.oracle.com/projects/ltfs/src )

It supports Oracle(Sun/StorageTek) T10000C and T10000D tape drives.
T10000E is also included, but it was not released as final product:
https://oss.oracle.com/projects/ltfs/src/trunk/ltfs-1.2.7/src/tape_drivers/linux/orcltape/orcltape_supdevs.h

   { "T10000C         ", drivefamily_lto,     "STK T10000C"        },
   { "T10000D         ", drivefamily_lto,     "STK T10000D"        },

It supports HP DAT160 and DAT320 tape drives: https://github.com/nix-community/hpe-ltfs/blob/f909474d71deb0e6a7abc71fd47c16a78b9c1eb0/ltfs/src/tape_drivers/osx/ltotape/ltotape_supdevs.h#L48-L49

   { "DAT320          ", drivefamily_dat,     "HP DAT320",		   drive_dat   	},
   { "DAT160          ", drivefamily_dat,     "HP DAT160",		   drive_dat   	},

Research direction

Start by comparing the Oracle orcltape_supdevs.h entries for T10000C and T10000D with the project's tape-driver device tables, and review the HPE ltotape_supdevs.h entries for DAT160 and DAT320. Done means the four named drives are recognized consistently with the existing drive-family mappings; verify this with the project's available drive-detection or device-support checks.
