Sounds like your EOT/BOT sensor. Look to see if you have dust on the led or the receptor. These will be in the area of the drive where the prism on the tape cartridge is when the tape is inserted.

RWC re: your Ditto drive RWC, If it's less than a year old, why don't you return it to the store for a new one. It's under warranty.

"I tried to clean the capstan, but it did not help. The drive rewinds and never stops. I think a hard drive is maybe a better solution. RWC" Given the pricing of the SparQ, it does look attractive for backup purposes of 1-2GB at a time. I'm thinking of ditching my old tape drive for it possibly. BTW, if this was announced or not, Syjet carts are selling for $80 at various vendors (CompUSA, Best Buy, some mailorder), well maybe for a limited time perhaps.
