EXB-8205 For the EXB-8205, the following Density Codes are available:
00h Default format
14h 8200 uncompressed format
7Fh Nochangeinformat
90h 8200c compressed format
SCSI-2 Option (Density Code reflects the areal bit density)
When you choose the SCSI-2 option, “density” is interpreted more
strictly to mean the areal density of the bits on the tape. According to
the SCSI-2 option, the EXB-8505 writes and reads in two densities
only: 8500 double-track and 8200 single-track, while the EXB-8205
writes in one density only: 8200 single-track. (This is because data
compression does not affect the density of the bits on the tape.)
For the SCSI-2 option, you do not use the Density Code to control
whether the CTS compresses data. Instead, you set the DCE bit on the
MODE SELECT Data Compression page (Page Code=0Fh) to select
compression.
EXB-8505 For the EXB-8505, the following Density Codes are available:
00h Default density
14h 8200 single-track density
15h 8500 double-track density
7Fh No change in density
If you want to write in 8500c format, select Density Code 15h and set
the DCE bit to 1 when you write LBOT and the first data block. If you
want to write in 8200c format, select Density Code 14h and set the
DCE bit to 1 when you write LBOT and the first data block. If you do
not set the DCE bit to 1, the EXB-8505 writes uncompressed data.
EXB-8205 For the EXB-8205, the following Density Codes are available:
00h Default density
14h 8200 single-track density
7Fh No change in density
If you want to write in 8200c format, select Density Code 14h and set
the DCE bit to 1 when you write LBOT and the first data block. If you
do not set the DCE bit to 1, the EXB-8205 writes data in 8200
uncompressed format.
