Appending to 8200 Format Tapes
If a tape has already been written in 8200 format and you want to
write additional data on the tape, follow these steps:
1. Load the data cartridge in the CTS.
2. Issue a READ (08h) or SPACE (11h) command to move away
from LBOT and to a legal position for appending.
Note: Legal positions for appending in 8200 format are the end
of data (blank tape) or at the beginning of a long
filemark.
3. Issue a WRITE or WRITE FILEMARKS command to write the
additional data. The CTS automatically sets the Density Code to
8200 format.
Note: The WTF bit in the MODE SENSE data indicates that the
CTS is writing in 8200 format (001b).
Reading 8200 Format Tapes
To use the CTS to read an 8200 format tape, follow these steps:
1. Load the data cartridge in the CTS.
2. Issue a READ command to read the data. The CTS automatically
determines the tape’s format.
