Chapter 1

1Theory of Operation

The SuperLoader 3 product is an integration of two separate devices, a

tape drive and a media changer. The media changer consists of all the

mechanics and electronics required to store and move tape cartridges

while the tape drive provides the read/write functionality.

Each device has a separate interface for communication to the host. The

SCSI command set supported by the tape drive is documented

separately. The SCSI command set supported by the media changer

device is detailed in “

Media Changer Command Descriptions” on page 9.

The SuperLoader 3 is fully compliant with the mandatory commands for

the ANSI SCSI-3 standard for tape drive and media changer devices and

implements many optional features.

The SuperLoader 3 does not act as an initiator on the SCSI bus. Therefore,

it does not generate unsolicited interrupts to the bus, initiate its own SCSI

commands, or assert bus reset.
