You can turn on Virtual IO from the web console which will place all
tapes placed in the IO door into the library.  This worked great except
then we search=yes option did not work.  

We use scripts to checkin and eject drmedia and turned off Virtual IO.
The scripts also automatically replies. 

This has worked great for the last year.

If that's true I wish someone would post how that works because I still
have to reply. For checkouts the process continues after the I/O port is
emptied.
For checkin we have to reply. I hear there is a feature you can add to
the library that will take care of emptying the door automatically but
don't know how that would or would not affect the reply feature.

Thanks,
