Hi,
        I ordered a 35/70 Compaq DLT drive from Compaq back in August
and today I received a 40/80 Compaq DLT drive. Literature off the web
states that the 40/80GB DLT is supported under 4.0F and 5.0A. I'm
currently running 4.0 878(V4.0d). I'm planning to go to V4.0G since I
have a number of 3000 model systems.
  
My question is:
        Can I use this 40/80 Compaq DLT drive on V4.0D or V4.0G with a
        ddr.dbase file from a V5.0A system, or is it more involved than
        that.


I could return it and get what I ordered, a 35/70 DLT drive. After
waiting almost 3 months for this drive, I was hoping I could just plug it
in, adjust some of the parameters in the ddr.dbase file and use it.

Thanks,
Diane
