The Export Media Message is used to notify the requester that Export Media

moved to (0-13 top to bottom) and the slot position the tape label was moved from.
The first byte of the label field will have a V, which stands for export update. A –1 (a
255 will be in both bytes) means that no change occurred. The structure of the Export
