On my new 515 I have a 4mm 36G drive model 9258.

I got some 4GB tapes from someone on the list, but they won't take.

I insert the tape, it goes in, and spits it back out and the middle light
blinks. I think it's the cleaning light. Brand new machine, needs a
cleaning?

So, I did get a cleaning cartrige. Do you just stick it in and let it
clean? IBM's infocenter hasn't been much help with this. Not even a
mention of a 4mm drive, just 1/4" and 8mm. I did try that but it spit it
back out after about 15 seconds and got a message in QSYSOPR:

*Attention* Tape device or tape library *N failed

Not sure it that was from the cleaning tape.

Thanks for any and all information.
