Well, I'm simply too young to use reels. I started with OS/390, RMM and
cartridges. Manually operated. The only problem I could met was wrong
sticker (physical label) on the cart. :-)

However I use to teach the tapes and RMM, so I describe problems which
are gone thank to RMM, labels, etc.

BTW: nowadays any non-virtual tape is becoming as ancient as
non-emulated ECKD disk drive.
(disclaimer: tape drives at VT backend does not count)
