8.4.10.9 EEROM Vendor Unique Page (3Eh)
The drive supports the EEROM vendor unique page (3Eh). All the EEROM parameters
that are settable through MODE SELECT EEROM vendor unique page are returned.
__________________________Note _____________________________
Because of the long list of parameters, use MODE SENSE (10) instead of
MODE SENSE (6) to retrieve EEROM parameters
____________________________________________________________
Because of the length of the EEROM parameter, a 10-byte MODE SENSE command is
required to retrieve the parameters. If a 6-byte MODE SENSE command is used to
retrieve the EEROM parameter page, the data returned is as follows:
"Send a 10-byte MODE SENSE command to get the Parameter List."
The data returned by the 10-byte MODE SENSE command for the EEROM page is in
the form of a MODE SENSE (10) data header followed by block and page descriptors.
The data in the page descriptor is organized in the form of a parameter header followed
by the actual parameters value. The parameter header is as follows:
"Name T
--------
Current
--------
Default
--------
Minimum
-----------
Maximum
-----------"
Name refers to the parameter name, for example, PRODUCTID or
DEFFAULTCOMPON.
T designates data type: 'b' specifies binary type, 'A' specifies string type, and it is
decimal data type if not specified.
Current/Default/ Minimum/Maximum specifies the current/default/minimum/maximum
value of the parameter.
