Chris,

> Thanks for you in-depth answer...

You welcome. Thanks for the points :-)

Just one more bit of trivia:

The cleaning process writes on the tapes, but it doesn't seem to matter what the setting of the "write protect" switch is. Even protected, the drive will turn off the write protect light when it determinies that it's a cleaning tape, and properly write each segment as used.
The journey IS the reward.
