Mode Sense Data
Length
This field specifies the length (in bytes) of the MODE SENSE data
that follows that is available to be transferred during the DATA IN
phase. Note that the Mode Sense Data Length does not include
itself.
Media Type The media type is determined by the drive and can be one of the
following:
Media Type Description
00h Unknown or not present
81h Cleaning tape
83h DLTtape III
84h DLTtape IIIXT
85h DLTtape IV
WP Write Protect. If 0, this field indicates that the tape is write-enabled.
If set to 1, it indicates that the tape is write-protected.
Buffered Mode This implements Immediate Reporting on WRITE commands via the
Buffered Mode.
If the field is 0, then the drive does not report a GOOD status on
WRITE commands until the data blocks are actually written to tape.
If the field is 1, then the drive reports GOOD status on WRITE
commands as soon as the data block has been transferred to the
buffer. This is the default configuration of the drive. Note that if
Buffered Mode is not used, the tape drive will suffer a degradation in
performance, but not in capacity.
Speed The default setting = 0. Tape system will attempt to match the
drive’s throughput with the host data throughput. Other available
settings are:
1 = Bus Speed Below 5.0 MB/sec
2 = Bus Speed 5.0 – 6.0 MB/sec
3 = Bus Speed of 6.0 MB/sec or more
