Johann,

I have an internal SCSI tape drive (1/4").   All I do is open the system up to 
expose the tape heads and use stereo casette tape cleaning fluid on Qtips on 
the heads.
I have 2 bottles of cleaning fluid (Aiwa: Head Cleaner, and Pinch Roller 
Cleaner) Standard cassette tape head cleaning stuff.  It works great.

I've never used head cleaning tapes.

Regards,
Bernt.
