Windows NT System Event Logger (Viewer).
From Main menu,
1. Click Start, select Administrative Tools , Event Viewer.
2. Double-click any event with source name lp6nds35.
3. Change the data view from Bytes (default) to Words.
4. Examine entry at offset 0x10.

, match low byte with error found in SCSI Port Log Error table

The Windows NT SCSI driver logs events and errors in the Windows NT event log. Serious
errors are always be logged, while informational events are only logged if the registry
parameter "LogErrors=1" is used. All Windows NT SCSI driver logged events are issued
with an Event ID of 11, Internal Adapter Error, but do not necessarily indicate an adapter
error occurred. Byte offset 0x10 of the event is the driver event code, while byte offset 0x11-
0x13 contain event specific information.
