Have you tried (using GNU mt):

mt -f /dev/st0 datcompression 0 # turns compression off
mt -f /dev/st0 datcompression 2 # turns compression on
mt -f /dev/st0 datcompression 1 # Shows you whether it is on or off

Subject: Setting compression on Sony AIT2 drive from host?



Has anyone figured out how to turn hardware compression on and off on a
Sony SDX-D500C AIT-2 tape drive via software?  The manual indicates that
this is possible by providing a DIP switch to enable/disable this
feature.

Thanks!
