wiping the posts with acetone or wiping the tape with
cyclomethicone? Should I be baking the tapes? If so, what is a safe way to bake QIC
cartridges?
I bake the carts with the bands removed and the covers off in a food dehydrator
I also wrap the posts with lint-free cloth and use a rubber glue like fabric adhesive I
found in the crafts section of wallmart
Obviously, I re-use the bases until the cloth becomes fouled
QIC tape is thin, I wouldn't recommend using any liquid on it, even as a lubricant. It
is very easy to wipe the binder off
The brand of drive you use is really important. the direct drive tanbergs work the best
I went through about 100 computervision sun3 era carts last year. They weren't
horrible, using reused DC150 belts
I didn't get the images uploaded before I got locked out of my lab.
