Mount Media Message

The Mount Media message notifies the requester that the Mount Media command

successfully completed or that an error caused the command to fail. With a Mount

command, it returns the drive position the tape label was moved to (0-9 bottom to top)

and the slot position (address) the tape label was moved from. A -1 (a 255 will be in

both bytes) means that no change occurred. For details, see Table D-8.
