Hi !

The head�s of DAT-DRIVES don�t live long as a waterpipe !
After 10.000 to 20.000 hour�s of reading/writing you should bring the
DAT-Drive to a service-center for a check and to change the rotating
head-mechanic�s (it�s cheaper to bye a new DAT-DRIVE).
Every 500 to 1500 hour�s you MUST clean the DRIVE (with cleaningtape) !
DON�T use BASF-tapes and there shouldn�t be a problem.

bye
