- Not being small enough to get in and look myself ... I `believe' that
- the `kachunk' sound is the heads retracting, but that the door doesn't
- close until the cart is ejected by about an 1.5". Note that the cart
- moves freely during insertion until the last 1.5" ... that is the
- point at which the tab on the spring loaded door catches and is pushed
- open. My recommendation, then, is to leave a frequently used cart
- in the mechanism, removed to the point that it moves freely.
