When we had this problem, we sent our tapes to Sprague Magnetics
(http://www.sprague-magnetics.com/).

They have low prices, quick turn around, and will sign non-disclosure
agreements. They also sell refurbished tapes if you are looking for
more.

Subject: [MSUNAG] bulk tape eraser

Does anyone have a bulk tape eraser/degausser that can handle DLTs, or
know of a unit that offers erasure services?  I have a new tape drive
that doesn't like tapes formatted in the old tape drive, and I'd hate to
have to pitch all of them into the trash.

Thanks.
