19       minor device encoding:
20            bits 0003 specify TS drive
21            bit  0004 specifies no-rewind operation
22            bit  0010 ignored

DESCRIPTION

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.

FILES

30       /dev/MAKEDEV        script to create special files
31       /dev/MAKEDEV.local  script to localize special files

DIAGNOSTICS

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

BUGS

53       If any non-data error is encountered on non-raw tape, it refuses to  do
54       anything more until closed.
55
56       The device lives at the same address as a tm-11 tm(4).
