TM-03/ TE-16, TU-45, TU-77 MASSBUS mag tape device
interface:
ht0 at mba? drive ?
tu0 at ht0 slave 0
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.
- 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.
An ht
driver appeared in
Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
May hang if physical (non-data) errors occur.
