To unload a {DECtape} (so it goes flap,
flap, flap). Old-time {hackers} at {MIT} tell of the days
when the disk was device 0 and {microtapes} were 1, 2,
etc. and attempting to flap device 0 would instead start a
motor banging inside a cabinet near the disk.
The term is used, by extension, for unloading any magnetic
tape. See also {macrotape}. Modern {cartridge tapes} no
longer actually flap, but the usage has remained.
The term could well be re-applied to {DEC}'s {TK50} cartridge
tape drive, a spectacularly misengineered contraption which
makes a loud flapping sound, almost like an old reel-type
lawnmower, in one of its many tape-eating failure modes.
2. See {flapping router}.
