Code Definition
5
'TRACK FORMAT TYPE DIFFERENT THAN EXPECTED' - Indicates that the format
type read is different than expected. For example, an assigned alternate track was
found in an area that should only have data tracks or defective tracks that point
to assigned alternate tracks.
6 'PATTERN FORMATTED DIFFERENT THAN PATTERN READ' - Indicates that the
pattern read from a track does not match the pattern that was placed on the track
when it was formatted.
7
'DEFECT LIST SHOWS ALL DIAGNOSTIC TRACKS DEFECTIVE' - Indicates that all
the diagnostic tracks are listed in the Defective Track List when at least one track
is needed to execute the test.
8 'TOO MANY DEFECTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TRACKS PER DEFECT LIST' - Indicates that
all suitable diagnostic tracks are listed in the Defective Track List. For example,
one of the tests requires at least two diagnostic tracks to execute but the Defec-
tive Tracks List indicates that all but one diagnostic track is defective.
9 'PATTERN WRITTEN DIFFERENT THAN PATTERN READ' - Indicates that the data
pattern read differs from the data pattern written.
10 'CANNOT DO TEST WITH CURRENT DEFECT LIST' - Indicates that an illegal com-
bination of tracks on the defective cylinder are listed in the Defective Track List.
For example, the Defective Track List cannot list both diagnostic tracks 0 and 1
nor can it list the last and next to last diagnostic tracks.
11
'ERROR DETECTED DURING OVERLAP SEEK' - Indicates than an error was de-
tected while executing an Overlapped Seek Operation.
12
'PATTERN READ IS NOT PROPERLY FILLED WITH ZEROS' - Indicates data read is
not filled with zeros to match the requested transfer count.
13 'MORE OAT A TRANSFERRED THAN REQUESTED' - Indicates that more data bytes
were transferred than were requested.
14 'TEST NEEDS UNIT BACKED UP TO EXECUTE' - Indicates that user data must be
altered in order to execute the test but the drive is not backed up according to
the responses given to the question(s) asked during initialization.
15
'TRACK 0 HAS A FAILURE THAT IS NOT ALLOWED' - Indicates that an error has
been detected on track O. Failures are not allowed on track 0 as it is guaranteed
to work at all times.
16 'RAN OUT OF AL TERNATE TRACKS TO ASSIGN' - Indicates that all of tracks al-
located by the number of alternate cylinders have been used and at least one more
alternate track is needed.
17
'DEFECT LIST IS NOT VALID' - Indicates that the Defective Track List is not valid.
This can be caused by being unable to read any data on the appropriate track
that contains the list or because the valid byte read from the list does not equal
ABCDH.
18 'TWO OR MORE DRIVES PER CONTROLLER NEEDED FOR TEST TO EXECUTE' - In-
dicates that more than one drive is needed to execute the specified test. These
drives must be attached to the same controller and selected for testing during
initialization.
19
'AN INTERRUPT WAS EXPECTED BUT NOT RECEIVED' - Indicates that the con-
troller did not generate the required interrupt.
20
'ST AT US SEMAPHORE NEVER INDICATED STATUS TO BE POSTED AS EXPECTED'
- Indicates that the controller never changed the status semaphore as expected
to signal that status is posted.
21 'HARD ERROR DETECTED WITH INIT FUNCTION' - Indicates that a hard error was
detected while the controller was initializing. This error can cause unpredictable
results in other tests.
22 'CONTROLLER DOES NOT RESPOND FROM A RESET' - Indicates that the control-
ler did not respond from a reset. The most likely cause of this error code is a
'dead' controller board although faulty system RAM can also cause the failure.
