Hello Arnd
I have a HP-DAT drive called Modell 2000. I can use tapes with the length
60m and 90m. 60m have a cpacity of 1,2GB and 90m of 2GB.
But there is another drive called Modell 2000DC. With this drive it is 
possible to power up your capacity to 8GB. The DDS-format of the
2000DC has been extended to include data compression (DDS-DC)
