@(#)ts.4 6.2 (Berkeley) 3/27/91
.Dd March 27, 1991 .Dt TS 4 vax .Os BSD 4 .Sh NAME .Nm ts .Nd .Tn TS-11 magtape interface .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "controller zs0 at uba? csr 0172520 vector tsintr" .Cd "tape ts0 at zs0 drive 0" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Tn TS-11 combination provides a standard tape drive interface as described in .Xr mtio 4 . The .Tn TS-11 operates only at 1600 .Tn BPI , and only one transport is possible per controller. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS l -diag t ts%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.
p t ts%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.
p t ts%d: hard error bn%d xs0=%b. A hard error occurred on the tape at block .Em bn ; status register 0 is printed in octal and symbolically decoded as bits. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mt 1 , .Xr tar 1 , .Xr tp 1 , .Xr mtio 4 , .Xr ht 4 , .Xr tm 4 , .Xr mt 4 , .Xr ut 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver appeared in x 4.1 . .Sh BUGS May hang ungracefully if a physical error (non-data) occurs.
p The device lives at the same address as a .Tn TM-11
q Xr tm 4 ; as it is very difficult to get this device to interrupt, a generic system assumes that a .Nm ts is present whenever no .Tn TM-11 exists but the .Tn CSR responds and a .Tn TS-11 is configured. This does no harm as long as a non-existent .Tn TS-11 is not accessed.
