I may differ on this one.? CDC Keystone (92181 and 92185)
drives are really gentle on tape.
They have air bearing "hubs" that the tape wraps over, and
nothing but the tape head and cleaner blades touch the oxide
side of the tape.? But, they can still suffer from tape
sticking to the heads.
I agree that some other streamers like Digi-Data were pretty
horrible contraptions.
