OK. Here's (I think/hope) my LAST sanity question.

My drive locks, and has a special "ENTRY/EXIT" port which is the only way to 
get tapes in and out of system.

is there a parameter I can call?


Example question.

tape 1 is loaded into drive 1 (element 451)
tape 2 is loaded into drive 2 (element 452)
tape 3 is loaded into drive 3 (element 453)


My "ENTRY/Exit slot (a full magazine of 5 slots) are called, 401-405.

Say I want to get the tape out of drive 1
how does amanda get tape 1 out of drive 1 (ok it sends a 1, to eject).
what do I do to tell amanda to file back in slot # 1, where it came from?

Can someone point me to the code I need to look at?

I am guess what I am looking for is how amanda uses the robot to move a tape 
from
(slot#XYZ to slot #45X (drive1/2/3)   
and once I have that, I will also need to know how to move to slot 401 to 
actually eject the tape!

--where does this (slot/tape information) get referenced?  do I have a variable 
somewhere for entry/exit slots? or do I just need to remember them when 
ejecting?


boy this seems complicated!
