I have a Certance DAT72 autoloader, model no. CDL 432 configured on 
an HP3000 and have no problems reading from and writing to the unit.

What I am having difficulty with is trying to automatically load the 
next tape from the 6-slot magazine.

Trying the DEVCTRL.MPEXL.TELESUP command with varying parameter 
values has not been fruitful. (Specifically, DEVCTRL.MPEXL.TELESUP 8 
EJECT=ENABLE LOAD=ONLINE)

Also, looking at the dip switches available do not appear to offer 
any obvious solutions there (I don't see a switch associated with the 
stacker or random mode operation).

Does anyone have any experience with this model of autoloader or any 
suggestions as to how I can configure it so I can  issue a command to 
load the next tape in the magazine ?

Thanks.
