**To avoid data corruption, a cartridge must be unmounted prior to
starting a test with TIP!**
There is no way to unmount a cartridge (without also ejecting it) in the
Finder, but you can either:
The best way to accomplish this is to start TIP without a disk in the drive you want to test.
Then, insert the cartridge at the testing screen which indicates "Awaiting media...". TIP
will recognize it if Mac OS mounts newly inserted cartridge and will give you the choice to

To start TIP, you will need to tell it which SCSI device to use:
### Listing SCSI devices
* Type `list` to show a numbered list of all SCSI devices by SCSI ID.
* Type `tip` followed by a SCSI ID to run TIP on that device.
Future versions of this tool may eliminate the Command Console, if I can find
the right way to automate all these steps in MacOS :grin:
