38.Sh NAME
39.Nm ts

41.Tn TS-11
42magtape interface
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "controller zs0 at uba? csr 0172520 vector tsintr"
45.Cd "tape ts0 at zs0 drive 0"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Tn TS-11
49combination provides a standard tape drive
50interface as described in
51.Xr mtio 4 .
52The
53.Tn TS-11
54operates only at 1600
55.Tn BPI ,
56and only one transport
57is possible per controller.
58.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
59.Bl -diag
60.It ts%d: no write ring.
61An attempt was made to write on the tape drive
62when no write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal of
63the user who tried to access the tape.
64.Pp
65.It ts%d: not online.
66An attempt was made to access the tape while it
67was offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user
68who tried to access the tape.
69.Pp
70.It ts%d: hard error bn%d xs0=%b.
71A hard error occurred on the tape
72at block
73.Em bn ;
74status register 0 is printed in octal and symbolically
75decoded as bits.

86.Sh HISTORY
87The
88.Nm
89driver appeared in
90.Bx 4.1 .
91.Sh BUGS
92May hang ungracefully if a physical error (non-data) occurs.
93.Pp
94The device lives at the same address as a
95.Tn TM-11
96.Pq Xr tm 4 ;
97as it is very difficult to get this device to interrupt, a generic
98system assumes that a
99.Nm ts
100is present whenever no
101.Tn TM-11
102exists but
103the
104.Tn CSR
105responds and a
106.Tn TS-11
107is configured.
108This does no harm as long as a non-existent
109.Tn TS-11
110is not accessed.
