Don't forget there are two 2GB formats,  QIC2GB and QIC2DC.  The 6380
drive can not read the QIC2DC format.

If you are talking about reading a 2GB QIC tape on a 4GB QIC drive, yes...

However, if you create a tape using the 4GB QIC on a 2GB formatted tape,
you
are supposed to be able to read it on the 2GB QIC drive, but it doesn't
always work properly...
