In My experience if the drives are SCSI compliant and work. Any Software

In short if the drives are any good they should work.
I have used :
WangDat 1300XL 2 Gig DAT
Archive 1.3 Gig DAT
Archive 150 Meg 1/4" Cartridge
Tandberg 3660 @50 Meg 1/4" Cartridge
None of them took any special options or setup. They just read and write data
until they hit the end of the tape.
