 | Hi All,
Anyone know of a local company that offers erasing/degaussing services for DLT tape? I have some that I want to use with a DLT 1 drive. After getting some used tapes, I found out that they need to be fully erased or the DLT IV format will be rejected by the drive.
Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the tip. Hadn't thought of them. I called on Tuesday and got directed to someone who called me back to direct me to someone else who hasn't called me back yet. lol. Since I'm not a customer and not interested in opening an account, I probably won't get a call back.
Thanks, Mark
