Dear managers:

One of our 4mm tape drives (TLZ06) broke and needs to be replaced.
The DEC service guy wants to replace it with a TLZ07 tape drive which
is the next generation. I'm wondering how tapes written on TLZ07
can be read by the TLZ06 tape drives? Our tapes are interchanged
between the tape drives. We're using tar to backup files.
I know that it may have something to do with the tape density.
(tar -xvf /dev/rmt0m or something like that)

Thanks!!!
