Loading a Data Cartridge
2.
If you have loaded a DLT IV cartridge into a Backward Read Compatible
(BRC) tape drive, the cartridge is accepted. The Mode Sense information will
report the Media Type as 85h and the correct Density Code as read from the
tape. Additionally, the Write Protect (WP) bit in the Mode Sense header will
be set; this is done to protect data that is already on the tape.
Any command that attempts to write to the medium (Write, Write Filemarks,
Erase) will return Check Condition status. The Sense Key will be set to Data
Protect (7) and the ASC/ASCQ will be set to “Cannot Write Medium -
Incompatible Format” (30/05). No update of the tape will be performed.
