Paul,

I remember this same topic being discussed several months ago... I thought
it was impossible... how can the library move the slider on the cartridge!?
We have a P3000 and have never seen this happen.  I don't remember the
resolution from that last discussion (or if there was one)... but I'll say
again what I said then...  call ATL tech support!   They are usually pretty
helpful.

Hi we have an ATL P2000 with 4 dlt7000's 100 tape capacity.  the operations
group is seeing DLT tapes coming out of the library write protected.

Would anyone care to guess at this?  because I can't even come up with a
rational explanation nor logical one.  :-)
I have asked if it is the same tapes, ( going thru list this week)
thinking
they might have a bad switch but then what moves it!

thanks
Paul
