    摘要: A method is provided for securely erasing residual data on a magnetic tape formatted with a plurality of servo patterns providing boundaries between a plurality of data bands containing data that is recorded thereon during normal write operations, the data being written on many adjacent data tracks that run parallel to an edge of the magnetic tape. The method includes identifying a first edge of each of the plurality of servo patterns and erasing a portion (for example, a first half) of each of the plurality of data bands during a first pass of a tape head as it moves in a first direction. The method further includes the step of indexing the tape head to identify an opposite second edge of each of the plurality of servo patterns and erasing a different portion (for example, an opposite second half) of each of the plurality of data bands during a second pass of the tape head as the tape head moves in a second direction opposite the first direction.

    摘要: A water based cleaning composition suitable for use in tape drives including very small quantities of a surfactant, preferably a tridecyl alcohol ether of polyoxyethylene, and an ionic salt of ammonia is disclosed. The quantity of surfactant is such that it is totally water soluble and furthermore does not exist as a free solvent susceptible to evaporation into the environment. The combination of the surfactant and an ionic salt of ammonia, preferably ammonium carbonate, enhances detergency and the suspension of debris without leaving a residue. In addition, the ionic salt of ammonia is provided in a quantity which maintains a neutral pH, thereby minimizing the corrosiveness of the cleaning composition and eliminating static.
