The Fixed bit specifies both the meaning of the transfer length field and whether
fixed-length or variable-length blocks are to be transferred.
If the Fixed bit is zero, a single block is transferred with the bytes transferred
being the lesser of the actual block length or the requested transfer length.
If the Fixed bit is one, the transfer length specifies the number of blocks to be
transferred to the initiator.

The Transfer Length indicates the number of bytes or blocks to transfer. The
block length used is the current block length specified in the mode parameters
block descriptor (refer to the Mode Select Block Descriptor in Table 4-47 on
page 7-53.)
When the transfer length is zero, no data is transferred and the current position
on the logical unit is not changed. This condition is not considered an error.
