I am not sure about its operation but I do have one comment. DO NOT believe that you will get 2.6:1 compression with this or any other tape drive when you make your comparison. This is really a 40GB tape drive. Depending on your data it is more likely that you get around 1.5:1 making this drive fit 60GB on a single tape and not 104 as Sony claims.
