- Summary: WangDAT can't read HP-DAT tapes
- Keywords: DAT incompatibility
-
- I was trying to move some software on DAT from one SUN with
- a HP-35480A DAT and another SUN with a WangDAT-3200, but the
- WangDAT wouldn't read what the HP-DAT had written. (Both DAT's
- use compression)
-
- The specific error message was:
-
- tar: error: invalid parameter
-
- To be sure I tried a few times writing again on the HP-DAT
- and trying to read on the WangDAT, with the same result.
-
- Yes, I tried with both HP DDS tapes and Sony DDS tapes.
-
- Funny thing is that the HP-DAT can read what is written by
- the WangDAT. So I guess you wouldn't want to move from
- HP-DAT to WangDAT (if anyone made this work please contact
- me).
