	  controller uq0 at xmi? port kdm vector uqintr
	  device tape tms0 at uq0 drive 0

       For MSI Bus: only MIPS-based DECsystem 5500
	  bus msi0 at ibus? vector msi_isr
	  controller dssc1 at msi0 msinode 1
	  device tape tms3 at dssc1 drive 3

       For XMI/CI/HSC on Alpha-based systems:
	  bus xmi0 at iop0 vector xmierror
	  bus ci0 at xmi? port np vector cimna_isr
	  controller hsc6 at ci0 cinode 6
	  device tape tms3 at hsc6 drive 3

       For tms devices dual ported between two controllers:
	  device tape tms2 at * drive 2
