Hello,
  I have an 8400 DU4.0b system here with a StorageTek 4890 tape drive
attached. This tape drive reads & writes 3480, 3490, & 3490e tapes and
is supposed to be compatible with the tkz62 or tkz63 drive. By
modifying the tkz60 entry in the ddr.dbase file we have been able to get
the drive to read 3490 tapes, but we get an error when reading 3480
tapes. I have yet to try a 3490e tape. Does anyone have experience with
this combination? Is there a tkz62 or 63 ddr entry that someone could
share with me? We need to support compression on this drive.

Thanks a lot,
    Jon
