Header
a. Sense data length
This field indicates the length (number of bytes) of the parameter list (MODE SENSE
data) which it is possible to transfer to the INIT by this command. The length of the
"Sense data length" field itself is not included in this value. Also, a value for a portion of
data with a length that is supported by the IDD is reported in this field for a parameter list
of the type specified in the CDB regardless of the specification of the "Transfer byte
length" field in the CDB. In order for the INIT to confirm that all the parameter list
requested in the command has been transferred, it should check whether the value which
has the length of the "Sense data length" field itself added to the value indicated in this
field is less than the value specified in the "Transfer byte length" field.
b. Media type
X '00' (default type) is always reported in this field.
c. WP bit
When this bit is "1," it indicates that a write operation to the disk media is prohibited and
when "0" is specified, it indicates that a write operation is permitted. Prohibition or
permission of a write operation can be specified through the setting terminal (write protect)
on the IDD. See "Product Specifications/Installation Procedures" in the Product Manual
concerning the setting terminal.
d. Block descriptor length
This field indicates the "Block descriptor" length (byte length) which follows after the
header. The "Page descriptor" length is not included in this value. The IDD always
reports X '08' in this field if "0" is specified in the DBD bit of this command's CDB, and
thus indicates that one "Block descriptor" set follows after the header. When "1" is
specified in the DBD bit of the CDB, the value of this field is X '00'.
(2)
Block descriptor
The 8-byte "Block descriptor" indicates the logical attributes of the data format on the disk
media.
a. Data block count
This field indicates the total number of logical data blocks (the block length is shown in
the "Data block length" field) existing in the "User Space" on the disk media. This value
does not include the number of spare sectors reserved for alternate block processing.
Furthermore, when this command specifies to transfer the "Default" value and "Variable"
value, the value shown in this field is X '000000' (which means the maximum number of
logical data blocks that it is possible to rank in the "User Space").
