Hi!

I have a rather old DLT7000 drive that is part of a compaq TL881 tape
library. When the drive is powered up the drive beeps four times
quickly, pauses, and beeps one long beep. The "Write protect", "Tape
in Use" and "Use cleaning tape" LEDs flash,

Do they flash together, or in sequence?

and the "operate handle"
LED stays on solid. Also, the handle release solenoid clicks as well,
but no other movements.

Last time I saw this it was due to a failed firmware flash. Re-flashing
the firmware takes a surprisingly long time, so people tend to panic and
assume something has gone wrong and pull the power to the drive. This,
of course, is the worst possible thing to do since it leaves the drive
with buggered firmware.
