Older hardware might suffer from '''tape device related''' errors more frequently. Interestingly, detailed information is hard to find. This is because '''system reference codes''' often refer to a certain piece of hardware (Feature Code) or FC and the actual error code. Because IBM over time released a multitude of tape devices, the possible combinations are plenty. This means, querying an internet search engine most likely will not turn up the desired results.

The following table lists the documented second half of SRCs<ref>System Reference Codes</ref> for the tape device '''63A0''', which is originally assigned to IBM LTO cartridge tape drives, but is very likely also assigned to similar, generic cartridge drives:
* Generic HP LTO drives,
* Quantum DLT drives,
* HP DDS DAT drives,
* possibly more.
