16.Sh SYNOPSIS
17.Cd "controller zs0 at uba? csr 0172520 vector tsintr"
18.Cd "tape ts0 at zs0 drive 0"
19.Sh DESCRIPTION
20The
21.Tn TS-11
22combination provides a standard tape drive
23interface as described in
24.Xr mtio 4 .
25The
26.Tn TS-11
27operates only at 1600
28.Tn BPI ,
29and only one transport
30is possible per controller.
31.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
32.Bl -diag
33.It ts%d: no write ring.
34An attempt was made to write on the tape drive
35when no write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal of
36the user who tried to access the tape.
37.Pp
38.It ts%d: not online.
39An attempt was made to access the tape while it
40was offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user
41who tried to access the tape.
42.Pp
43.It ts%d: hard error bn%d xs0=%b.
44A hard error occurred on the tape
45at block
46.Em bn ;
47status register 0 is printed in octal and symbolically

59.Sh HISTORY
60The
61.Nm
62driver appeared in
63.Bx 4.1 .
64.Sh BUGS
65May hang ungracefully if a physical error (non-data) occurs.
66.Pp
67The device lives at the same address as a
68.Tn TM-11
69.Pq Xr tm 4 ;
70as it is very difficult to get this device to interrupt, a generic
71system assumes that a
72.Nm ts
73is present whenever no
74.Tn TM-11
75exists but
76the
77.Tn CSR
78responds and a
79.Tn TS-11
80is configured.
81This does no harm as long as a non-existent
82.Tn TS-11
83is not accessed.
