I think the old DLT drive (haven't used it for a few years, but it worked the last time I had it plugged in) may be dead. Here's what I notice: 1) The "use cleaning tape" light was on. I plugged in a cleaning tape, and the light went out; but then when I plugged i na real tape, the drive pretty quickly turned the "use cleaning light" back on again. This has happened a few times--the cleaning tape seems to work, but then as soon as I put in a real tape, the drive wants cleaning again.
... Are you using the right kind of tape? It should be labeled: DLTtape IV Mogens -- Mogens Kjaer, Carlsberg A/S, Computer Department Gamle Carlsberg Vej 10, DK-2500 Valby, Denmark Phone: +45 33 27 53 25, Fax: +45 33 27 47 08 Email: mk@xxxxxx Homepage: http://www.crc.dk
