This flag is set to 1 when the Media Management algorithm
detects a drive with a dead channel. The drive will monitor the
channel performance and maintain a drive performance history
log in the media header. The algorithm is executed each time
the media header is updated (i.e. after a REWIND or LOAD/-
UNLOAD command). Run extended diagnostics (e.g. Stand
Alone Diagnostics (SAD) test or Send Diagnostics) to verify
that the drive has a fault. The flag is internally cleared when
the media is ejected.
