NAME

     ts -- TS-11/TSV-05 mag tape interface


SYNOPSIS

     ts0 at uba? csr 0172520


DESCRIPTION

     The TS-11/TSV-05 combination provides a standard tape drive interface as
     described in vax/mtio(4).  The TS-11 operates only at 1600 BPI, and only
     one transport is possible per controller.

     The TS-11 is attached to an UNIBUS, and the TSV-05 is attached to a Q22
     bus.


DIAGNOSTICS

     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.

     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.

     ts%d: error at bn%d.  An error occurred on the tape at block bn; status
     register and controller state is printed in hex and decimal.
