Apparently LTO-4 drives can both read and write LTO-3 tapes. Are these tapes fully compatible with LTO-3 drives? I'm interested in real life experience more than theoretical vendor-touted compatibility :)

The tape was only ever used in the LTO4 drive tho and hadnt been appended to from an LTO3 device.
I used an LTO3 device to do the restore and actually had no problems .
I have restored LTO3 tapes that were written to on an LTO4 device.

Resetting the volume expiration.
Turns out that an earlier attempt to set the expiration date of the data on the tapes accidentally set the volume expiration date, so all of those tapes were expired.

It seems there are different types for different tape drives.
With LTO tapes it is impossible to write them again/erase-dlt.asp
There are probably others.

So when a tape gets physically stuck (LTO-3), does anyone have any recommendations for getting it out if you can get to it from the bay?
Right now, I have been using a screw driver and sticking it into the little area that is for write protection:
