A warm beer says that the empty slot is one reserved for a cleaner tape.
Check your hardware manual to see if there's a way to load a cleaner
cartridge through the front panel's I/O station. If there is, and you remove
the cleaner from its present slot and load it by using the library itself,
it'll go in that 30th slot.
