MODE SENSE (6) / (10) Command (1Ah / 5Ah) (continued)
5.10.3.8 EEPROM Vendor Unique page (3Eh)
The tape drive supports the EEPROM vendor unique page (3Eh). All the EEPROM
parameters settable via the MODE SELECT’s EEPROM Vendor Unique page are
returned.
NOTE
Because of the length of the parameter list, use MODE SENSE (10) instead of
MODE SENSE (6) to retrieve EEPROM parameters.
Because of the length of the list of EEPROM parameters, a 10-byte MODE SENSE
command is required. If a 6-byte MODE SENSE command is used for retrieval, the data
is returned 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 EEPROM 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 parameter’s value. The parameter is as follows:
Name T
Current
Default
Minimum
Maximum
Name
refers to the parameter name, for example, PRODUCTID or DEFAULTCOMPON.
T
designates data type: “
b
” indicates binary, “
A
” indicates string type, and if there is no
designator, the data is in decimal.
Current
,
Default
,
Minimum
,
and
