Well, yes there is. An LTO4 tape drive will NOT be able to read any data from an LTO1 tape cartridge. The LTO specifications call for any LTO cartridge to be readable and writeable for a drive one level up (LTO1 to LTO2, for instance), and for any LTO cartridge to be readable ONLY for a drive two levels up (LTO1 to LTO3, for instance. -- Mark Stapleton Berbee (a CDW company) System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com
