Thanks, the intended commands $10 and $11 aren't tape-related. All three are probably vendor-specific to some type of SCSI-ST-506 controller, but I'm not sure which. $02 could be "READ SYNDROME", but like the others, the device command doesn't actually transfer any data after issuing the command.

Edit: Actually I think you're right about commands $10 and $11! The inmate.device code puts IO_LENGTH in CDB bytes 2-4 which corresponds with those SCSI command definitions. And the SCSI-bus-scan routine which checks for (hard) drives, doesn't issue TEST UNIT READY or READ CAPACITY for SCSI ID 6. Did Spirit Technology market a tape drive too???
