Where to find cleaning Tape

[CA781767]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me where/what kind to find a cleaning tape for an internal, Travan, Colorado 5 GB Drive? I am not sure if there are compatiblity issues. I found an imation tape on CDW but it said it would not work with HP backup drives.

Thanks, Tony

Hi Tony,

According to page 9 of the HP Colorado tape drive User's Guide, you do not need to perform any routine maintenance on the drive. (It specifically states that cleaning the read/write head will damage the drive.) Here's the URL:
