DRIVE COMMAND SET
MODE SENSE (1AH)
Number of Blocks
The Number of Blocks field value is zero for the LaserDrive. This specifies that the block length
specification that follows applies to the entire media.
Block Length
The Block Length field specifies the length in bytes of each logical block of the LaserDrive logical unit. The
Block Length returned is 400H (1024) bytes.
Blocks of parameters called pages follow the block descriptor. Each page is preceded by a header of 2
bytes defining the Page Code and the length of the parameters that follow.
The PS bit indicates the page can be saved to nonvolatile RAM. Following the header, pages consist of a
number of fields of related flags and/or values. The PS bit in the first byte of each page indicates that the
page can be saved to nonvolatile RAM, if set. Savable pages are optional and identified by the PS bit that
is returned in the page header by the MODE SENSE command. The Parameter Length indicates the
number of bytes that the LaserDrive supports in each Page. The Parameter Length value does not include
the 2-byte header. The LaserDrive returns, in the pages of the MODE SENSE commands, the entire page
as defined in this document.
Valid Page codes are described in the next section.
MODE SENSE PAGES
The following pages can be returned for a MODE SENSE command as specified by the PF bit and Page
Control (PC) field.
READ-WRITE ERROR RECOVERY PAGE
The Read-Write Error Recovery page specifies the error recovery parameters the Target uses during any
command that performs a Read or Write operation to the media.
