25 The ts-11 combination provides a standard tape drive interface as
26 described in mtio(4). The ts-11 operates only at 1600 bpi, and only
27 one transport is possible per controller.

37 ts%d: no write ring. An attempt was made to write on the tape drive
38 when no write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal
39 of the user who tried to access the tape.
40
41 ts%d: not online. An attempt was made to access the tape while it was
42 offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user who tried
43 to access the tape.
44
45 ts%d: hard error bn%d xs0=%b xs1=%b xs2=%b xs3=%b. A hard error
46 occurred on the tape at block bn; status registers 0-3 are printed in
47 octal and symbolically decoded as bits.
48
49 ts%d: addr mod 4 != 0. The address of a TS-11 command packet was not
50 on an even longword boundary.
51
53 If any non-data error is encountered on non-raw tape, it refuses to do
54 anything more until closed.

56 The device lives at the same address as a tm-11 tm(4).
