Liquid Crystal Display
¦ The first message to appear during the
¦ power-on sequence.
¦ Variable information about the tape drive, in
¦ this case IBM-20GB.
¦ The submodel number of the tape drive.
¦ The serial number of the tape drive.
¦ The level of the tape drive's firmware.
¦ The number of hours since the last cleaning.
¦ Whether data compression is turned on (the
¦ default) or turned off.
¦ The type of SCSI input/output electrical
¦ interface.
¦ The width of the SCSI bus (measured in bits or ¦
¦ bytes).
¦ The SCSI address of the tape drive (0 through
¦ 15). The default is 0.
¦ The current language used on the LCD. To
¦ change the language, turn off the power to the ¦
¦ tape drive. Press and hold the unload button
¦ immediately after turning the power back on.
¦ When the desired language displays, release
¦ the unload button.
¦ The tape drive is ready to accept a cartridge. ¦
¦ The tape drive is loading the tape.
¦ The tape drive successfully loaded the tape
¦ and is ready for read or write operations.
¦ An unsuitable tape has been loaded and
¦ rejected.
¦ The unload button was pressed. The tape drive
¦ will eject the cartridge as soon as it
¦ finishes the current operation.
¦ The unload button was pressed, and the system
¦ software has issued a command to prevent the
¦ eject function.
¦ The tape drive is reading data. The + sign
¦ appears when the data is compressed. The boxes ¦
¦ (¦) represent the amount of tape processed
¦ (out of a total of six boxes). The = sign
¦ represents the amount of unprocessed tape.
¦ The tape drive is writing data. The + sign
¦ appears when the data is compressed.
¦ The tape drive cannot write data because the
¦ data cartridge is write-protected.
¦ The tape drive cannot write to the type of
¦ data cartridge inserted. This message remains
¦ until a proper tape is inserted or a tape
¦ motion command is issued.
