I noticed that too. But isn't entering tapes in empty slots a bit dangerous?
If tsm has loaded a tape from say slot 100 in a drive and you put a new tape
in slot 100 what will happen if tsm wants to return the tape from the drive to
its original slot?

I'm using a script to checkin tapes one by one from the ioslots (3584)
explicitely specifying the volumelabel. TSM then requests me to put
the tape in the upper slot for every tape. I wish that it would support
search=bulk so it scans the ioports for the specific volume...
