Reporting of Host Interface Mode
Reporting of the current Host Interface mode may be obtained by using either
the diagnostic software or a host initiated Mode Sense command.
Diagnostic Software
To obtain a report of the current Host Interface mode using the diagnostic
software (version 3.03 or later), select “REPORT” from the “Exabyte” Option
of the “Config” Menu. In response, the current Host Interface mode is
displayed.
Mode Sense Command (Host Initiated)
A host initiated Mode Sense command can be used to obtain a report of the
current Host Interface mode. The type of report requested is determined by
the Page Control field of the Mode Sense command and the data is located in
bit number 0 in the second parameter byte (byte 3 of Vendor Unique Page
00h). A bit value of 1 indicates that Exabyte Emulation Mode is enabled or
that the mode is changeable, as appropriate. A bit value of 0 indicates that the
Standard Interface Mode is enabled or that the mode is not changeable, as
appropriate.
