What, me worry?

Before anyone asks me about this I'll point out it is Julian's
work, and though I'll be happy to help as much as I can I really
don't know much about different types of tapes.  Much to my pleasure
my Exabyte has always worked without a hitch.

This is what I was wondering. We don't have the IMMEDIATE bit set
in the rewind command, and so I guess you will tie up the bus if
you don't allow it to disconnect.
