Maybe, and Yes.

Will work with 120 meter (DDS2) and 125 meter (DDS3) media.
Will obviously not work with DDS4 (150 m) media.
Will (not so obviously) not work with 60m DDS1 media.
I am not sure if a DDS4 drive can *write* 90m DDS1, my
gut feeking says no, but it might be able ro *read* them.

Goetz.
