[CLUE-Tech] DDS / DAT Tape Drives

[David Willson]

Does anyone know whether DAT drives are downward compatible?  For example,
can a DDS-1 cartridge be read from and/or written to by a DDS-2 drive?
Reason I ask:  My DDS-1 drive has failed, but I have about a hundred
cartridges for it.  I don't want to have to replace both right away, but I
also don't want to put money (any money) into another DDS-1 drive.
