If the cartridge is already in an ejected position and you want to reinsert it, remove the cartridge then insert it again. b. If the cartridge is already loaded and you cycle the power (turn it off, then on), the drive ejects then reloads the cartridge. c. If you set the write-protect switch so that data cannot be written to it, the message reads as follows (where WP equals write protect): Volume Loaded DC WP Ready... a67s0008 1 Figure 6.
