chewing tapes

I have a DEC-TLZ09 DDS drive (from digital prioris xl 6200) that is starting to chew tapes (DDS2).
The peice of tape hanging out has a clear part to it which suggests it is a the start (or end?) of the tape.
How can I stop this from happening?

Re: chewing tapes

I don't have answer. Unfortunantly, I am having the same problem. My DEC-TLZ09 is about 3.5 years old and on a AServer300 running VMS.
Have you figured your problem out yet. How did you fix users. If you had to buy a new one were did you find it?
Thanks for you time.
