        !            16: The tm-11/te-10 combination provides a standard tape drive
        !            17: interface as described in
        !            18: .IR mtio (4).
        !            19: Hardware implementing this on the VAX is typified by the Emulex TC-11
        !            20: controller operating with a Kennedy model 9300 tape transport,
        !            21: providing 800 and 1600 bpi operation at 125 ips.

        !            32: \fBte%d: no write ring\fR.  An attempt was made to write on the tape drive
        !            33: when no write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal of
        !            34: the user who tried to access the tape.
        !            35: .PP
        !            36: \fBte%d: not online\fR.  An attempt was made to access the tape while it
        !            37: was offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user
        !            38: who tried to access the tape.
        !            39: .PP
        !            40: \fBte%d: can't change density in mid-tape\fR.  An attempt was made to write
        !            41: on a tape at a different density than is already recorded on the tape.
        !            42: This message is written on the terminal of the user who tried to switch
        !            43: the density.
        !            44: .PP
        !            45: \fBte%d: hard error bn%d er=%b\fR.   A tape error occurred
        !            46: at block \fIbn\fR; the tm error register is
        !            47: printed in octal with the bits symbolically decoded.  Any error is
        !            48: fatal on non-raw tape; when possible the driver will have retried
        !            49: the operation which failed several times before reporting the error.
        !            50: .PP
        !            51: \fBte%d: lost interrupt\fR.  A tape operation did not complete
        !            52: within a reasonable time, most likely because the tape was taken
        !            53: off-line during rewind or lost vacuum.  The controller should, but does not,
        !            54: give an interrupt in these cases.  The device will be made available
        !            55: again after this message, but any current open reference to the device
        !            56: will return an error as the operation in progress aborts.
        !            57: .SH BUGS
        !            58: If any non-data error is encountered on non-raw tape, it refuses to do anything
        !            59: more until closed.
