adj.,obs. [from military slang for an M-16 rifle with magazine inserted and
|
|
|
|
|
prepared for firing] Said of a removable disk volume properly prepared for
|
|
|
|
|
use that is, locked into the drive and with the heads loaded. Ironically,
|
|
|
|
|
because their heads are loaded whenever the power is up, this description is
|
|
|
|
|
never used of Winchester drives (which are named after a rifle).
