Not really - the drive inside of the C0H27A looks a lot like a EH969A but it is a different drive module which has a library/drive interface software module.  The external hardware looks identical but the EH969A doesn't work in a library.

All of the MSL 2024/4048/8096 libraries, the 1/8 G2, and the new MSL 6480 libraries use the same drive assemblies and the same drive modules so a drive from any of those will work but only drives from one of those will work.  Any other drive either won't have the library interface module or may have a library interface module that is for a different library.

apologize in advance for reviving an old thread.  i'm wondering whether this is also true for lto5 drives.  can one purchase the internal ultrium3000 "eh957b" and put it in the 1/8 G2 autoloader?

Good question..but i think its better to put it on a brand new post to get an answer
