Tape changers maintain a notion of the current and next slot for each
configuration. These may or may not correspond to an actual physical state of
the device, but do tend to minimize searching through the tape storage slots.
If the desired tape is in the current slot, it is likely the next tape needed
is in the next slot rather than at some random position in the storage slots.
