Using Your DDS Drive For information on using device files or archiving data to or from the DDS-2 drive, see the Owner's Guide that came with your workstation. Media Interchangeability Restrictions If you interchange media between DDS-format tape drives, the following two restrictions apply to the media: • Data cassettes with compressed data can only be read by tape drives that have data compression capabilities, such as the tape drive (part number C1504-67201) found in Kit A2275A #AHS. • Full height (5 1/4-in) DDS-format tape drives (models HP 35470A and HP35480A) can get 1.3 GB and can read or write to 60-meter data cassettes only, if they are not using data compression. With data compression, these drives can get 2 GB and can read or write to 90-meter cassettes.
