The Magstar MP Model B01 is a stand-alone automated library model supporting
automatic (sequential) and random access to 20 cartridges from two removable
10-cartridge magazines. It contains a single tape drive with an integrated
microprocessor control unit and all necessary power and cooling components.
It attaches to a host system through a SCSI-2 adapter. The integrated
control unit contains the electronics and logic for reading and writing
data, controlling the library picker, and managing the operator display
panel. The control unit functions include management of the data buffer,
error recovery procedures, and the control of all tape drive operations
and some channel operations. The library model uses a cartridge loading
and transport mechanism to automatically transport tape cartridges to
and from the storage magazines and the tape drive. It has a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) Operator Panel that is used as the primary method of displaying
information for the operator. Control buttons on the Operator Panel allow
selection of various menu options and information. The library unit can
operate in random access, automatic access, or manual access modes. With
two magazines of cartridges, the Magstar MP can provide up to 300GB of
on-line data with a data rate of up to 20GB/hr.
