Hi,
For the last year I've been using HP cleaning tapes with a Sony SDT9000. Now the drive's constantly flashing status lights and not loading the tape properly. When I insert a cleaning tape, it doesn't seem to wind on at all.
I think I might have worked out what the problem is. The sony cleaning operation seems to work in the opposite direction of the HP tapes. Can anyone confirm that this is the case? Have I permanently damaged the drive?
thanks
Mike
