Cleaning Cartridge Will Not Work on 8mm 8795DX

The problem is resolved by using a 15 pass or greater cleaning tape.

A lot of you recommended the Exabyte Premium cleaning tapes which we

have ordered.

"James J. Waldram" <waldram@cat.uwyo.edu> sent me this:

Manufacturer label is Exabyte. We get ours from Corporate Express,

800-288-7373 x 5887. Ann Wheeler is our sales rep. The cost was

$12.75 each in May 1999 for 18 pass cleaning cartridges.

Thanks to everyone who replied!
