Confusion about backup tape formats

[p75]

Hi.

I am trying to work out what some old tape cartridges are but a lot of confusion about formats. First I though they were QIC now they could be Ditto according to wiki.

See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iomega_Ditto_drive and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter-inch_cartridge

Look at the top photo and the one on the left looks like what I have but they look the same as each other.

I am also looking for a drive to read them and have a large QIC tape to, I think.

Any good ideas or advice about this?

Thanks.

Anyone?

Well I have just got hold of a segate stt20000a.

Only problem is can't get a driver for 98se and just can't seem to find them. No driver for xp, as it works.
Now I need some software so I can try and read the the tapes.

So can someone at least recommend some software. Free would be best. I don't need to back up, only read the data from the tapes.
