V Do not leave a cartridge in the drive any longer than absolutely

subsequent operation of the MTC drive.

(green LED) is no longer flashing and the ready indicator is bright.

have pressed the button, the tape is first wound from the read/write head and
the cartridge is then ejected automatically.
