Command Specifications

1)The MODE SELECT parameter is ordinarily different in its configuration depending on the input/output device and the type of controller. It is also possible that current definitions may be expanded in accordance with the expansion of the functions of the HDD in the future. In order to assure independence of software from the individual specifications of input/output devices, before the INIT issues this command, it should follow the procedure of using the MODE SENSE and MODE SENSE EXTENDED command to determine the types of parameters the TARG is actually equipped with and the attributes of those parameters, such as whether or not they can be changed.

2)After changing anything in the "Block descriptor" with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command, it is impossible to execute a command to access the data on the disk media until execution of the FORMAT UNIT command is completed, and a CHECK CONDITION status (MEDIUM ERROR [=3] / Medium format corrupted [=31-00]) is reported for all such commands.

Chapter 5 describes the configuration and functions of the "Parameter data format" supported by the HDD.
