Tape controllers compatible with the
Tape Mass Storage Control Protocol
provide a standard tape drive interface
The controller communicates with the host through a packet
description of this protocol.
.It tmscp controller failed to init.
The controller initialization procedure failed.
This probably indicates a hardware problem.

The values of the controller status register and the internal
driver state are printed.
.It tmscp%d: random interrupt ignored.
An unexpected interrupt was received (e.g. when no
pending). The interrupt is ignored.
.It tmscp%d: interrupt in unknown state %d ignored.
An interrupt was received when the driver was in an unknown
internal state. Indicates a hardware problem or a driver bug.
.It tmscp%d: fatal error (0%o).
The controller detected a ``fatal error'' in the status returned
to the host. The contents of the status register are displayed.
(Additional status information given after a hard
error occurred because the drive was not on-line.
These errors precede an interpretation of a
returned by the controller to the host.
