These indicate how full/empty the buffer memory should be before restarting the
writing/reading of the media. The DLT4000 drive will set these fields to zero (unused)
ratios according to the average data rates over the SCSI bus.
Write Delay Time
before forcing the data to tape (100 ms increments). Note that the buffer full/empty
ratio, which is dynamic, can cause data to be written sooner than the Write Delay time
be flushed in 20 seconds. Maximum value is 6500 (1964h) and the minimum is 15
(Fh). This represents delays from almost 11 minutes down to 1.5 seconds.
DBR–set to 0 (Data buffer recovery not supported)
BIS–set to 1 (Block Identifiers Supported in media format)
AVC–set to 0
SOCF–set to 0
REW–set to 0 (Do not report Early Warning EOM on reads)
This field is not used and is set to zero.
