force a tape to exit the drive...

I ran a script earlier today as I had to pause. I thought everything was in order but now, just before leaving for home, I noticed the drive is acting very strange. Led #2 on my VXA drive is blinking but it never stops. Blinking means that the tape is loading but does that load take like 30

A blinking LED may indicate trouble in a drive as well. Check your documentation. It should tell you exactly what the blinking light means. Usually if it is blinking that long, it is not a good sign. brian --- Original Message --- jakob krabbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wrote on Thu, 13 Jul 2000

A drive can go bad at any time for any reason. You are not alone in this. Hardware fails. If you are having trouble with it, get it fixed and move on. Brian --- Original Message --- jakob krabbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wrote on Thu, 13 Jul 2000 20:02:42 +0200 -- At 10:21
