"Hi,

"I own a Colorado DJ20 (Jumbo 250) which reads and writes DC2120 tapes in QIC-80
"format.  Just today it did some very strange things and I am trying to figure 
"out what to do next.  I have 3 tapes which it rewound (off spool) and gave me 
"error 99 (0a) which is
"  Broken tape or tape sensor -- remove tape from drive.  Discard tape if
"  broken or spooled off.
"So I re-spooled one of the the tapes (what a bugger of a job!) and tried 
"again.  It unspooled the tape again.   So I re-spooled again and wound the
"tape about 1/4 of the way, and it again unspooled the tape, each time with
"the same error.
"
"I need the data from these tapes.  Could it be a problem with the drive
"instead?  It's about 4 years old and I don't think I ever cleaned the heads,
"but I've only written/read about 9 tapes.  If the tapes sensor is screwed
"up, how can I get the data off these tapes?
"
"Thanks in advance,
"Ed
