Ejecting the Magazine
To eject a cassette magazine from the DAT AutoLoader, press the Eject
button or issue an UNLOAD command from the host. The following sequence
of events occurs:
1. The tape is rewound to BOP (Beginning of Partition).
2. If the tape is write-enabled, the copy of the tape log held in RAM is
written back to the tape.
3. The tape is then rewound to BOM (Beginning of Media) and
unthreaded.
4. The AutoLoader replaces the cassettes in the magazine in the correct
order.
5. The magazine is ejected.
