Byte 13 - Additional Sense Code Qualifier (ASCQ)
The Additional Sense Code Qualifier, in conjunction with the
Additional Sense Code (byte 12), provides additional information
about each sense key. Appendix E lists the possible combinations of
this byte and the ASC byte for each sense key. Only those ASCQ
values used by the CTS are shown in the appendix.
Bytes 14 and 15 - Reserved
These bytes are reserved.
Bytes 16 through 18 - Read/Write Data Error Counter
The Read/Write Data Error Counter is a dual-function counter for
logging rewrites and read ECCs for recovered physical blocks
(physical block size is 1 KByte). The mode of operation determines
what is being counted. The counter is incremented in write mode
when a specific physical block is rewritten following a
read-after-write failure. The counter is incremented in read mode
when the physical block was reconstructed in the formatter by the
Error Correction Code (ECC) operation.
The counter is reset to 0 after any of the following:
A REQUEST SENSE command is issued with the CLRCNT bit
(byte 05, bit 7) set to 1. Note that in order for the reset to be
performed, 29 (1Dh) bytes of sense data must be read by the
REQUEST SENSE command.
The tape is loaded or rewound.
The mode changes from write to read or from read to write.
The CTS is reset.
The counter does not roll over from FFFFFFh to 0 but remains at
FFFFFFh until reset.
