Sorry, my tests weren't very exhuastive. I was able to read tapes written on
Seagate drives, with compression, using an IBM drive. At the time I was more
concerned with getting to the bottom of the reliability problems.

I may have the opportunity to do better testing in the next couple of
months, and if so I will post the results.

As you rightly point out, the standard does not specify interoperability,
but we should not assume that this does not work, until we know for sure one
way or the other.
