In article <5570622@hpfcdc.HP.COM> you write:

  Does this mean that when a user types bdf the autochanger makes
  a lot of noise and returns in about a minute?  What happens when
  I try and "sync" the machine before I shut it down?  It seems that
  the mechanical delays in the autochanger would negate sync's
  efficiency.
