locked and loaded: 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).
