I have a need to confirm a response I received from HP.

We are getting a new system.  It will come with a 4gb dds dat drive.  I was
told by HP that as long as compression is turned off and I do not use a tape
length that is invalid, I can create a tape to be read on a customers 2gb
dds dat drive (dds1 or dds2).

Is this info correct?  Do you turn off the compression thru software or a
hardware jumper?

TIA
