One important factor is if you were using hardware compression.  If so
it's more likely they're not backward compatible.  If you've used software
compression the routines are not in the hardware and you're more likely
to get backwards compatability.

Call your vendor, tell them you have a dead drive.  Tell them you want to
get a "test" to verify backward compatability before you purchase.  Many
will arrange something.

You actually said the macic word "expect"...  It's a shell scripting 
language.  It's a little cryptic but it's great for doing interactive
scripts.
