The meaning of the status fields are:
7 0 15 8 +--------|--------+ ||||||||||||||||||| +-----------------+ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^---^ |||||||| |||| |||||||| |||+---- ERROR - This 5-bit field specifies an error |||||||| ||| code when a non-recoverable error is |||||||| ||| encountered. |||||||| ||+----- E - (Enter) The Parameter Block has been |||||||| || entered and execution has been begun. |||||||| |+------ C - (Complete) The TAPEMASTER has |||||||| | successfully completed the command. |||||||| +------- R - (Retry) At least one retry was executed |||||||| by the TAPEMASTER during this command. |||||||+--------- - Unused. ||||||+---------- P - (Write Protect) The tape does not have |||||| a write enable ring. |||||+----------- FB - (Formatter Busy) The Formatter is busy. ||||+------------ R - (Ready) The selected drive is ready. |||+------------- EOT - (End of Tape)The EOT marker was detected. ||+-------------- LP - (Load Point) The tape is at load point. |+--------------- OL - (On Line) The drive is On Line. +---------------- FM - (Filemark) A filemark was detected on this operation.Error messages will be displayed with the drive number (# stands for number), the message and its error code. cy#: Drive timed out during transfer.
Time out errors during transfer; this may be due to trying to read a blank tape or the controller failing to interrupt or the drive dropping off-line ... (Error:01-05) cy#: Tape is write protected.
An attempt was made to write on the tape drive when no write ring was present; this message is written only on the terminal of the user who tried to access the tape. (Error:11) cy#: Drive is not on-line.
An attempt was made to access the tape while it was offline; this message is written only on the terminal of the user who tried to access the tape. (Error:10) cy#: Controller referenced non-existent system memory. A memory time-out occurred during a system memory reference. (Error:06). cy#: Controller diagnostics failed.
An error occurred in the micro-diagnostics or the diagnostic mode jumper was not installed while attempting to execute a Diagnostics command. (Error:08,13) cy#: Unsatisfactory media found.
A tape time-out occured, because the tape drive did not supply an expected read or write strobe. This normally occurs when attempting to read a larger record than was written. It may also occur during a write due to a damaged tape. This message is written on the terminal of the user who tried to access the tape. (Error:0F) cy#: Checksum error in controller proms.
An error was detected while calculating a checksum on the PROM. (Error:0E) cy#: Unrecoverable media error during read.
A hard or soft error occurred which could not eliminated by retry. (Error:0A) cy#: Unrecoverable tape parity error.
A read parity error occurred on the byte interface between the drive and the TAPEMASTER. (Error:0D) cy#: Blank tape found (data expected).
Blank tape was encountered where data was expected. (Error:07) ****Tapemaster controller time-out during initialization!****
Tapemaster controller failed to acknowledge the first attention while initializing the tape parameter blocks. ****Tapemaster configuration failure!****
Tapemaster failed while initializng the on-board registers, memory and calculate the buffer space which is available for buffered operations. ****Unrecoverble hardware error****
An unrecoverable hardware error occured. Controller or drive failure!! The following are Warning messages: cy#: # cm of tape were used for recovering bad spots.
Displays the number of centimeters of tape that were skipped over while retrying due to bad spots on the tape. cy#: Maximum block size is #!
Specified block size exceeded the displayed maximum block size. BUGS
