Table 14-13:
When the current tape format is not known (like when
there is no medium inserted), the MODE SELECT command
will allow any even block length in the range 2..262144.
However, when the tape format becomes known and a WRITE
command is issued,
configured current configured block length is legal. If
the block length is outside the range of legal values
the WRITE command will be terminated immediately with
CHECK CONDITION status. If the block length specified is
odd the MODE SELECT command will be terminated with
CHECK CONDITION status immediately.
