-40- Why can't I write a tape on my DEC DAT drive and read it on my SGI?
Date: 03 Dec 1994 00:00:01 EST DEC DAT drives use hardware compression by default, and SGI DAT drives can't handle that. Turn it off. Furthermore, some SGI DAT drives hang when trying to read a hardware- compressed tape, instead of saying "incompatible media" as they should. This is fixed in recent firmware; call SGI for an upgrade.
