10 MODE SELECT (15h) and MODE SENSE (1Ah)
Restrictions for Sending MODE SELECT Parameters:
For non-page format, valid transfer lengths for the
vendor-unique parameters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 bytes. All
transfers of the vendor-unique parameters start with byte 0.
For data transfers greater than 0 bytes, the entire 4-byte
Parameter List Header must be transferred before the Block
Descriptor or any parameter pages or vendor-unique
parameters.
The Block Descriptor and any parameter pages must be
transferred in their entirety; partial transfers of these data
segments are not allowed.
Note:
Any value for the Parameter List Length that causes
the Parameter List Header, Block Descriptor, or one of
the parameter pages to be truncated will terminate the
command with Check Condition status. The sense key
will be set to Illegal Request and the Additional Sense
Code will be set to Parameter List Length Error.
Byte 05, Bits 7 and 6 - Vendor Unique
There are no vendor unique definitions for these bits.
