If by compatible you mean they will work with the std Sun scsi driver,
I don't know.  It may depend on what release you're on.  But any MO drive
should work on Sun with the appropriate driver.  I suggest contacting
Jerry Krygier of Hewlett-Packard (303)350-4887 for info on drivers for
MO drives and Autochanger/Jukeboxes as well as hierarchical storage
management (HSM) solutions.
