From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
flap
vt.
1. [obs.] 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 DEC
microtapes were 1, 2,... and attempting to flap device 0 would instead
start a motor banging inside a cabinet near the disk.
2. By extension, to unload any magnetic tape. 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.)
