It has been said that LTO2 will work with LTO1 media. I've seen nothing
about increased capacity. That does not mean that there is no increase in
capacity.

That is the native capacity. I don't know if it will do 160GB on media
which have been initialized to 110GB.

There is a road map at http://www.dlttape.com/Products/Roadmap/Default.htm

According to that roadmap , the SDLT600 will be released in Q4 2003. I
believe that in order to get 300GB native there will be new media.
