NAME
tms − TMSCP magnetic tape interface
SYNOPSIS
For XMI/KDM on Alpha-based systems:
bus xmi0 at iop0 vector xmierror
controller uq0 at xmi? port kdm vector uqintr
device tape tms0 at uq0 drive 0
For MSI Bus: only MIPS-based DECsystem 5500
bus msi0 at ibus? vector msi_isr
controller dssc1 at msi0 msinode 1
device tape tms3 at dssc1 drive 3
For XMI/CI/HSC on Alpha-based systems:
bus xmi0 at iop0 vector xmierror
bus ci0 at xmi? port np vector cimna_isr
controller hsc6 at ci0 cinode 6
device tape tms3 at hsc6 drive 3
For tms devices dual ported between two controllers:
device tape tms2 at ∗ drive 2
DESCRIPTION
The TMSCP driver provides a standard tape drive interface, as described in mtio(7). This is a driver for any controller that adheres to the Tape Mass Storage Control Protocol (TMSCP). The TMSCP controllers communicate with the host through a packet-oriented protocol termed the Tape Mass Storage Control Protocol.
