In Short .. it means move the Medium from point A to point B
and is a mandatory commnand in a SCSI Medium Changer.
It has an optional cousin EXCHANGE MEDIUM.
You would typically only find ussage for these commands in say,
a scsi Jukebox. i.e. to move a CD from Storage Element 0x01
to the Data Transfer Element 0x200 ( i.e. grab a CD from storage
and toss it into the silly drive. )
Noteably. There are 4-5 scsi-2 commands for scsi medium changers
not in the scsi.h, and one of the current commands has a name conflict
with the specification. Dunno if it matters since I would think
Jukebox control should be user land only anyhow.
> Umm, maybe MOVE_MEDIUM means that it starts spining the CD or winding the
