# No, no, no, no! You can't know whether it's in a changer and that this action

Nononono, you misunderstand.  Don't put it in the driver.  Put it as an
action inside of dump.

# If you want this, don't ask the tape driver to do this. Add a flag to dump

That was what I was looking for, there we go.

I'm trying to get that to work but it doesn't want to take for some
reason...

# Don't get a DDS2 (I'm really finding that they wear out far too soon).

Thanks for the pointer.
