MODE SENSE
The MODE SENSE command allows the host to determine various drive
parameters. These parameters are sent from the drive to the host as data formatted
in a parameter list. This command is complementary to the MODE SELECT
command that sets device parameters.
The drive terminates execution of the MODE SENSE command:
When the number of bytes specified in the Allocation Length field have been sent to
the host, or
When all available MODE SENSE data has been sent to the host.
If a MODE SELECT command has not been performed since power-on or SCSI
Reset, the default mode parameters are in effect.
All MODE SELECT parameters may be rounded up or down, as appropriate. A
MODE SENSE command may be issued after a MODE SELECT command to
determine which parameters have been rounded.
The drive supports both 6 byte, MODE SENSE(6), and 10 byte, MODE SENSE(10)
commands.
Block and page descriptions for this command are shown on subsequent pages.
