Exabyte cleaning tape questions

Greetings,

I would appreciate a reading of my thread regarding Mammoth 1 cleaning tape
questions:

news://{youryour-nntp-host}:119/ZtCdncngUtn_rFHUnZ2dnUVZ_t7inZ2d@posted.cpinternet
(note: substitute the hated 'aioe.org' for your-nntp-host - works for
anyone)

If someone with a Mammoth 1 compatible cleaning tape could inspect it and
reply, I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Michael
