TapeAlert Log Page

The TapeAlert log page is page 2Eh. There are 64 parameters numbered from

1 through 64. Only parameters 1 through 18, 20 through 23 and 29 through

39 have definitions for tape drives without attached loaders. The remaining

parameters are always zero.
All parameters are one byte long. Each parameter is either zero to indicate the

corresponding condition has not occurred or one to indicate that the

corresponding condition has occurred. All log parameters are cleared when

the log is read. The Log is also cleared at power on, on a reset condition and

by a

Log Select

command. Specific flags may be cleared when corrective action

has removed the condition that caused the flag to be set.
