EXB-8205 For the EXB-8205, the DCE bit settings indicate the following:
0 – Data compression is disabled. The write density is set to 14h
(8200 format).
1 – Data compression is enabled. The write density is set to 90h
(8200c format).
Byte 02, Bit 6 - DCC (Data Compression Capable)
The Data Compression Capable bit is used by the MODE SENSE
command to indicate that the CTS supports data compression. The
valuereturnedis1. ThisbitisignoredbytheCTSintheMODE
SELECT command.
Byte 03, Bit 7 - DDE (Data Decompression Enable)
When the CTS reads compressed data from tape, it automatically
decompresses the data before sending to the initiator. Data
decompression is always enabled, so this bit must be set to 1 (enable
data decompression). Note that a value of 1 is valid for any tape
format, compressed or not.
Byte 03, Bits 6 and 5 - RED (Report Exception on
Decompression)
The CTS does not report exceptions on decompression (boundaries
between compressed and uncompressed data). The valid value for
this field is 0.
Bytes 04 through 07 - Compression Algorithm
The Compression Algorithm field indicates which compression
algorithm the CTS will use to compress data from the initiator. The
only value currently supported for this field is 10h (write data using
the IDRC data compression algorithm). This is the only compression
algorithm currently supported by the CTS.
Note: Specifying a value other than 10h for this field causes the CTS
to return Check Condition status with the sense key set to
Illegal Request (5h).
