... in theory, yes. However, because of the haphazard readability of
different drives, you may end up with two completely new drives on the two
systems ... that can read each others' tapes but cannot read either one's
archive of tapes!!
This happened to me at a previous company with 4mm DAT drives.
Be careful of what you wish for ... you may get it.

So am I correct in my belief that these two drives
with the same part number but different EC levels and
FRU numbers *should* be able to read each other's
tars? If so, am I within my rights to keep calling
our (3rd party) hardware maintenance vendor back out
until the drives can read one another's tars? TIA.
