00h
Default format
(error checking
suppressed)
Use this Density Code at LBOT if you want to write default format
tapes (8500c for the EXB-8505; 8200c for the EXB-8205)*.
The CTS ignores this Density Code (does not return Check
Condition status) if you attempt to use it to change the tape format
from a non-default format to the default format when the tape is
notatLBOT.
14h
8200
(full error
checking)
Use this Density Code at LBOT if you want to write 8200 format
tapes.
The CTS returns Check Condition status with the sense key set to
Illegal Request (5h) if you attempt to use this Density Code to
change the tape format from non-8200 to 8200 when the tape is
notatLBOT.

(EXB-8505
only)
8500
(full error

format.
The format will remain the same as it was before the MODE
SELECT command was sent to the CTS.

Use this Density Code at LBOT if you want to write 8500c format
tapes.
The EXB-8505 returns Check Condition status with the sense key
set to Illegal Request (5h) if you attempt to use this Density Code
to change the tape format from non-8500c to 8500c format when
the tape is not at LBOT.
