Old 6400 Dat Drive

Will I be able to read dat tapes that was written on an old 6400 Dat Drive, (the tapes are 4mm-DL 90M) with a DAT 160 SAS drive.

Re: Old 6400 Dat Drive

If that's a DDS-2 drive, then no.  DAT drives can read back two generations; I think the 6400 is more like four or five generations back.
