READ ELEMENT STATUS MC command B8h
The READ ELEMENT STATUS medium changer command requests that the target report status
information for the medium-changer elements. Status for the elements is returned in blocks of bytes
called element descriptors, one descriptor per element.
This command can be used to determine which elements are defined and the state of each defined
element. The READ ELEMENT STATUS command is typically used preceding a MOVE MEDIUM
or EXCHANGE MEDIUM command to help determine if a move or exchange operation is possible.
