HP DAT/DLT drives

Hello, everyone.

I am wondering whether anyone has experience using HP DAT or (preferably) DLT
drives on a Linux system. Specifically, I am wondering how the hardware
compression is enabled, and whether it can be enabled using Linux, or whether
some Windows utility/driver is required.

Thanks.
