Does anyone have a list of which DDS drives can read/write each others
tapes. I assume that a DDS-1 would not read a DDS-2 format tape, but
I've also read that different manufacturers drives may or may not be
compatible. We have 2 x HP9000, 1 x SUN and a SCO system with DDS here
and we have customers with DDS on IBM RS6000, DG and Sequent.

I don't know the model numbers of the drives and don't particularly
want to take the machines apart to find out (is there a way of getting
this info via software?).
