To people who have been reporting problems with tk50 tapes, and drives
shredding each other, I believe(?!?) a small preventative measure will
help out.  Before you insert a cartridge, simply swing the flap of the
cartridge opened by depressing the tab at the bottom of the back side,
and check to see if the little triangular hook is showing there at the
end of the tape.  According to one experienced serviceman, the problems
arise when the hook is not positioned properly to start with.

I'm not utterly sure about this but it seems reasonable, and I would appreciate
hearing other views and experiences.
