In addition to its system control functions, the Expansion Unit has a 16-
cartridge magazine with a rugged random access robotic mechanism. The
module robotics moves cartridges between the Pass-Thru Mechanism and any
of the 16 cartridge storage locations.

The user may designate a magazine in one of the MiniLibrary Base Modules
as a mail slot for inserting or removing one or more single cartridges, which
implements the SCSI Import/Export commands.

NOTE: A magazine that has been reserved for Import/Export service may not be used for
data storage.
