My HP dat drive ate a tape and died, and since all my backups are on
90m dds1 tapes, I'd like to be sure that the replacement drive will
read them.  Do I need to be concerned about the brand (the old drive
was a HP35480a) as long as I get a 4mm dat drive?  I know there are now
drives that take 120m tapes -- do I need to avoid these?

Thanks.
