I'm looking at an internal tape drive on a 928 that has "DCLZ" marked on
the front of the facade.  I'm assuming it stands for some form of
"Lempel-Ziv" hardware compression.

Is there a way to get around it so I can take a tape to an older machine?

I'm comtemplating CMSTORE but I'm afraid it will compress that too!

If there isn't a way short of yanking the drive out and setting a switch,
I'd be interested in knowing that also.
