So does this mean that the PTF updates code on the drive to keep some
sort of arm down or block in place to prevent the staticky part of the
tape from coming in contact with things?  I don't understand how a PTF
could stop a fuse from blowing - anyone have any details?  The "more
details" of the notification below really didn't say how.

A fix has been created that will eliminate a problem where static
discharge will blow a fuse on 1/4-Inch Cartridge Tape Drives.  Please
apply R530 PTF MF34335 (SLR60) or MF34336
(SLR100) at your earliest convenience to prevent tape drives from having
unnecessary outages.  These PTFs have been included in all HIPER Group
packages (SF99529) since Nov 30, 2004.  These PTFs have also been
included in the cumulative packs shipped starting Feb 2005 on pack
number C5032530 and later.
