HT(4)                  OpenBSD Programmer's Manual (VAX)                 HT(4)

NAME
     ht - TM-03/ TE-16, TU-45, TU-77 MASSBUS magtape device interface:

SYNOPSIS
     master ht0 at mba? drive ?
     tape tu0 at ht0 slave 0

DESCRIPTION
     The TM-03 transport combination provides a standard tape drive interface
     as described in mtio(4). All drives provide both 800 and 1600 BPI; the
     TE-16 runs at 45 IPS, the TU-45 at 75 IPS, while the TU-77 runs at 125
     IPS and autoloads tapes.

DIAGNOSTICS
     tu%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.

     tu%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.

     tu%d: can't change density in mid-tape.  An attempt was made to write on
     a tape at a different density than is already recorded on the tape.  This
     message is written on the terminal of the user who tried to switch the
     density.

     tu%d: hard error bn%d mbsr=%b er=%b ds=%b.  A tape error occurred at
     block bn; the ht error register and drive status register are printed in
     octal with the bits symbolically decoded.  Any error is fatal on non-raw
     tape; when possible the driver will have retried the operation which
     failed several times before reporting the error.

HISTORY
     An ht driver appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.

BUGS
     May hang if physical (non-data) errors occur.
