I had a couple of them for a while.  I don't have them any more
because the owner wanted them back since we had finished the
SCSI driver we were writing.

It never occured to me to look at the manual to see how to
insert and remove cartridges.  I would say that I did not
take any special precautions.  I just sort of treated them
as big floppies, and there were never any problems.

They also bounced around the back of my car when I took them
on a trip, and did not seem to be damaged.  One of them had
trouble spinning up once after spending all night outside in
the car on a cold winter night, but that was the only
problem I ever saw.

Gee, looking at the above, I sure hope the company we were
doing this stuff for is not reading this :-)
