Cartridge Emergency Eject and Reset
the drive
Press and hold the Unload button on the drive for 12 seconds. The drive saves a dump of the current drive state to RAM,
then reboots. After the reboot, the cartridge is slowly rewound to the beginning of tape (this may take some time). Another
press of the unload button will eject the cartridge.
Attention: Do not cycle power as this will erase the contents of the dump.
