Sure.  Get the GENERIC version of DM, which will do anything.

You have to pay for it however.  I think it runs about the same cost as
Speedstor, or roughly $100.

We purchased the generic Speedstor utility instead.  In addition to having
some 150-200 different drive types in there (and a "roll your own" setting)
it also has a set of excellent diagnostics and -- most importantly -- a NON-
DESTRUCTIVE reformatter.  The last feature alone was worth the money.  Makes
it real easy to refresh formats and change interleave.
