The autoloader reports valid standard INQUIRY data to an INQUIRY command
for all multi-initiators one second after reset.
When the autoloader receives an INQUIRY command while processing a
command from the initiator, it reports valid data and does not report a BUSY
status. For example, if host 7 issues a MOVE MEDIUM command for
Disconnect processing, and then host 6 issues an INQUIRY command, the
autoloader responds immediately. If a command other than INQUIRY is
received, the BUSY status is returned.
However, when the autoloader is reserved by the RESERVE command and
receives another RESERVE command, it causes a RESERVATION
CONFLICT status to be returned.
