Sorry to bother you gain, I have now removed the drive from the machine and taken the
logic board off the drive. There is a lot of tape on the tkeup reel (about 1/2"
thickness). How do I either unloaad the tape manually or persuade the drive to release
the cassette so that I can pull out the tape. I am not bothered about the data on the
tape, I just want to get it out of the drive so that I can use the drive again.
Regards
Pete
