You scare me.

That's pretty much what I was afraid of and why I asked "Which side" :-) I'm guessing gravity can both assist and interfere here.

Thanks for the note on pulling the cartridges too. Kinda like moving TS3100/3200s with tapes in them.

Lay it on its side on the floor and see? Just shut it down and park/lock the picker before you start moving it around.

I have an old Plasmon UDO box. (Ugly after we moved it to a new building. All the cartridges fell out of their slots.)

So be careful or unload it before moving it around.

SCSI attached optical Jukebox.

Unit is small enough it should fit nicely in a rack by laying it down.
Which is of course the rub! If it lays on it side will it work? If so is
one side better than the other?
