Nitpick warning!
That was me, but what I actually said was that most DDS1 drives won't
load a DDS2 tape. I can't remember the "official" name of the feature,
but almost all 4mm drives do media-format detection, and will just spit
out a tape larger than they rate for. I do recall that the DEC
firmware doesn't do that, but I'm still fairly sure it won't work.
