I went digging in the SCSI-II spec, and it looks like key 4 is "hardware
failure". The "code 40" and "qualifier a0" are specific to the tape
drive. Our documentation for another HP drive indicates this
combination is a diagnostic failure of whatever component a0 refers to.
Readers Digest version: "tape drive broken". :>
