"McKown, John" mentioned on 8 April, a DOS message "JOB TERMINATED DUE
TO PROGRAM REQUEST". I think a far more mysterious message we
received was (the sands of time prevent me from giving a correct,
literal rendering of the messaage) "UNIT xxx - INVALID ERROR". After a
lot of head-scratching, an operator mentioned seeing a pool of
hydraulic fluid on the floor behind the 2319 containing the unit xxx
mentioned. IBM
CE repaired the unit. His explanation of the message was that the
device was so fouled up that it was returning sense data which was
invalid for the device type, and DOS could not make sense of it.
