flap
1. To unload a href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=DECtape">DECtape (so it goes flap, flap, flap). Old-time href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=hackers">hackers at href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=MIT">MIT tell of the days when the disk was device 0 and href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=microtapes">microtapes were 1, 2, etc. and attempting to flap device 0 would instead start a motor banging inside a cabinet near the disk. The term is used, by extension, for unloading any magnetic tape. See also href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=macrotape">macrotape. Modern href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=cartridge tapes">cartridge tapes no longer actually flap, but the usage has remained. The term could well be re-applied to href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=DEC">DEC' s href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=TK50">TK50 cartridge tape drive, a spectacularly misengineered contraption which makes a loud flapping sound, almost like an old reel-type lawnmower, in one of its many tape-eating failure modes. 2.
