Please pardon the "noise," but I can't find an answer anywhere else (no 
response from Sony after several days), and it's possible that a fellow 
OS/2 user has one of these machines and has seen and solved this problem.

Please feel free to respond by email if you don't want to clutter up 
this group.

I have taken a chance and purchased on eBay (for a mere $25) a Compaq 
169017-001 DDS-4 8-tape autoloader (relabeled Sony TSL-11000) that, by 
the seller's admission, displays the message "loader becoming ready."

I've looked at the online user's manual, and this message is not 
mentioned there. Is this the normal message when a magazine is not 
present (the seller had no magazine to try, and I have not yet received 
the ones I bought), or does this indicate a problem? Should there be 
some indication that the autoloader is now ready for a magazine to be 
inserted (and how long should it take to display)?
