Greeting Folks,
        Thanks for all the replies. My original question was
        compatibility between the tape drives TLZ04 and TLZ06
        while using the "tar" command (I have paraphased the
        question).

        I got many replies all have them implying the following
        things (thanks a bunch, you know who you are):

        1) TLZ04 does NOT accept 90M tapes.
        
        2) To "tar" and "untar" between the two tape drives , I
           should be using the "/dev/rmt0l" which is the
           uncompressed and low densitty mode, instead of the
           default "/dev/rmt0h".

        3) the man page "tz" has some very useful info. on these
           issues.


        Thanks again
        cheers
        Mohan
