37.Sh NAME
38.Nm ts
39.Nd
40.Tn TS-11
41magtape interface
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Cd "controller zs0 at uba? csr 0172520 vector tsintr"
44.Cd "tape ts0 at zs0 drive 0"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Tn TS-11
48combination provides a standard tape drive
49interface as described in
50.Xr mtio 4 .
51The
52.Tn TS-11
53operates only at 1600
54.Tn BPI ,
55and only one transport
56is possible per controller.
57.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
58.Bl -diag
59.It ts%d: no write ring.
60An attempt was made to write on the tape drive
61when no write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal of
62the user who tried to access the tape.
63.Pp
64.It ts%d: not online.
65An attempt was made to access the tape while it
66was offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user
67who tried to access the tape.
68.Pp
69.It ts%d: hard error bn%d xs0=%b.
70A hard error occurred on the tape
71at block
72.Em bn ;
73status register 0 is printed in octal and symbolically
74decoded as bits.

85.Sh HISTORY
86The
87.Nm
88driver appeared in
89.Bx 4.1 .
90.Sh BUGS
91May hang ungracefully if a physical error (non-data) occurs.
92.Pp
93The device lives at the same address as a
94.Tn TM-11
95.Pq Xr tm 4 ;
96as it is very difficult to get this device to interrupt, a generic
97system assumes that a
98.Nm ts
99is present whenever no
100.Tn TM-11
101exists but
102the
103.Tn CSR
104responds and a
105.Tn TS-11
106is configured.
107This does no harm as long as a non-existent
108.Tn TS-11
109is not accessed.
