TK50 and stuck tape

Even if you get it out, God only knows where the tape will have been creased or crinkled, and that puts your data at risk. The same applies to almost any tape cartridge or reel, especially if it's been physically stressed. It's beginning to sound as though you have a bad drive, though. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.
