I have HP C1533A DDS-2 DAT tape drive. I ordered 120M tapes specifying
that they were to be used in a DDS-2 DAT drive. 

They sent some tapes that have written on them:

Digital Cassette 120m
    Dictaphone

Will these things work, or are they going to cause my drive to crash
and burn? The tapes don't have written on them DDS nor MRS.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
