tape

                          I'm running mt version 2.13 on OpenSuse 15.5 with a Quantum DLT-4000 tape drive.

When I run mt -f /dev/st0 status I get the following output:

    drive type = 114
    drive status = 419430400
    sense key error = 0
    residue count = 0
    file number = 0
    block number = 0

How do I interpret the drive type and drive status codes?
