[Veritas-bu] LTO3 and LTO2 compatibility

I need to send some tapes to a site with LTO2 drives. Unfortunately, we are running LTO3. Will they still be able to read these tapes? I realize this is the opposite of the compatibility matrix, but I've never tried this and haven't heard results from anyone else.

If this won't work, if I duped them to LTO2 MEDIA, but still written from an LTO3 drive, would that be compatible with the LTO2 drives on the other end?

Thanks,
