DAT-streamer DDS4-compatibility 1

[RudiVVC]

Hi folks!

Does anybody know if our pSeries built-in DAT-streamer (DDS4) is able to use DDS1, 2 or 3 tapes?

How about the cleaning tapes? Does a DDS4-streamer
need special cleaning tapes or can we use our old
tapes (from former PC-DAT-streamers with DDS2)?

Thanx
Ruediger
