THIS IS SPECULATION:

The Adaptec/SCSI standard has error codes assigned.  They are returned to
the driver when something goes wrong.  If it were by driver, I would print
them.  Hex 16 and 17 are "NOT ASSIGNED".  But the group 10-18 are for
reporting bad things.  Thus I think 16 and 17 are bad also.

From Adaptec 4000A Manual:
Error codes:
10	ID CRC ERROR
11	Uncorrectabel data error
12	ID address mark not found
14	Record not found
15	Seek error
16-17	Not assigned
18	Data check in no retry mode
