More in general, if drive B wont' read tapes written by drive A, the fault could be at 
either end (or both).  It could even be in the standard -- all too many standards, for 
example a whole lot of modern network protocol standards, permit implementations that 
conform but don't interoperate.  In some cases, the authors get annoyed when you point 
this out and call it a standards bug.  (By contrast, the DECnet standards were always 
written to the rule that "conformance implies interoperability".)
"We call it compatible for a reason. If it were the same, we would say so"
