I have the same problem, our new HP DDS-3 drive works flawlessly with new DDS-3 tapes, *appears* to write to old tapes from my DDS-1 drive (i.e. the write completes without complaining), but cannot read them back (fails with messages like this: "st0: MEDIUM ERROR asc:9,0 Track following error field replaceable unit: 2"). Did anyone ever find a solution to this? Thanks, Richard -- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
