Like: Some loaders, like the DLT4500 and 4700 can be set to automatically load the next cartridge when a rewoffl occurs. You can flip a mode page bit to change this. I even think there are 2 bits, one that makes the drive forget about automatic loading a new tape whenever it encounters a robotic scsi command. Check out the DLTtools program on www.quantum.com for a tool to change DLT setup.
