Hi!
we've got the same drive here (in a debian box), and it runs just fine
with the same constraint: there's no way to set the density. The drive
recognises the correct mode from the holes on the cassette, so you may
safely ignore this little annoyance. On a DDS-3 tape, it'll write 12G of
uncompressed data and that's what matters.
The only problem we've had so far, came from unsufficient cleaning - the
drive started to chew the tapes :-(. So now we clean it every time we
change the tape (once a week).
