This is a stand-alone 3590. Same unit each time, just different cartridges. The excessive load times are always for specific cartridges and the load-to-ready time was measured standing right next to the drive and watching the 3590 operator panel. The panel displays "LOADING" durin g the excesive times observed. Like normal cartridges loads, the display eventually changes to blank, "READING", "WRITING", "REWINDING", and lastly "READY-AT LOAD POINT". Brian Nielsen
