When you say tape cleaner - something to actually clean and treat the
transport and composite materials of the actual tape media, or are you
looking for tape cleaner for the tape mechanism head? If its head
cleaner you are looking for, Radio Shack Tape Header cleaner has worked
very well on my HP and Dec 9 track drives, just let it completely
evaporate from the head before loading a tape.

I should ask here...
I'm looking to find a 1/2" tape cleaner. Anyone on the east coast have
one they don't need?
I'd also be curious to hear from Ashley (or others) how reading old
DECtapes goes - do you ever have "sticktion" problems? or see stick-shed
syndrom?
(ah, I remember watching os/8 load off a dectape unit connected to an 8/i
running tss/8... It had 4 8/l's slaved off it and 'served' the dectape drive
up to which ever asked for it)
