c1::dsk/c1t0d0                 CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
unixdev2#

Description
       Prior to Version 2.0, this device was referenced by tmscp(4).

       The  TMSCP  driver  provides  a standard tape drive interface, as described in 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.  This driver also supports n-buffered reads and writes to the raw tape interface (used with streaming tape
       drives).  See for further details.

Tape Support
       TK50, TK70, TF70, TU81, TU81e, TA78, TA79, TA81, RV20, TA90, TA90E, TA91

Diagnostics
       All diagnostic messages are sent to the error logger subsystem.
