We have a STK9710 and starting in ADSM NT PTF3, there is support for
multiple tape input and output thru the exit port.  One problem that we have
is that when we use DRM to eject tapes, it will fill the slots in the port,
but won't unlock the door.  We're going to open a call w/IBM on this, but
has anyone else seen this?

Thanks,
