NAME
ht —
TM-03/ TE-16, TU-45, TU-77 MASSBUS
mag tape device interface:
SYNOPSIS
ht0 at mba? drive ?
tu0 at ht0 slave 0
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
4.4BSD yet.
The TM-03 transport combination provides a standard tape drive interface as
described in
vax/mtio(4).
All drives provide both 800 and 1600 BPI; the TE-16 runs at 45 IPS, the TU-45
at 75 IPS, while the TU-77 runs at 125 IPS and autoloads tapes.
DIAGNOSTICS
- tu%d: no write ring.
- An attempt was made to write on the tape drive when no
write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal of the
user who tried to access the tape.
- tu%d: not online.
- An attempt was made to access the tape while it was
offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user who tried to
access the tape.
- tu%d: can't change density in
mid-tape.
- An attempt was made to write on a tape at a different
density than is already recorded on the tape. This message is written on
the terminal of the user who tried to switch the density.
- tu%d: hard error bn%d mbsr=%b er=%b
ds=%b.
- A tape error occurred at block bn; the
ht error register and drive status register are printed in octal with the
bits symbolically decoded. Any error is fatal on non-raw tape; when
possible the driver will have retried the operation which failed several
times before reporting the error.
