Description
Automatic Velocity Control. Not supported; must be 0.
Stop on Consecutive Filemarks. Not supported; must be 0.
Recover Buffer Order. Not supported; must be 0.
Report Early Warning. Not supported; must be 0 (do not report Early
Warning EOM on READ).
Not used; must be 0.
End-of-Data Defined. This field must be set to 00h.
Enable End-of-Data Generation. Set to 1. This field indicates that the
drive will generate an EOD. The drive generates an EOD mark before any
change of direction following a WRITE-type operation. This bit is ignored,
however, on MODE SELECT.
Synchronize at Early Warning. Must be set to 1.
Not supported; must be 0.
When set to 1, enables data compression.
When 0, disables data compression.
The setting on the front panel of the tape drive overrides any setting of
MODE SELECT, but no error will result. If the setting is returned to the
automatic mode on the front panel of the tape drive, the value from the
last MODE SELECT command determines whether compression is
enabled or disabled.
