Fields:

Transfer Period

08h

Transfer period of 6.25 ns, Paced Information Unit transfers

Factor

09h

Transfer period of 12.5 ns (FAST-80). Only valid when DT transfers have

 

 

 

been requested

 

0Ch

Transfer period of 50 ns (FAST-20) — LVD/SE drives only

 

19h

Transfer period of 100 ns (FAST-10)

 

32h

Transfer period of 200 ns (FAST-5)

 

 

Req/Ack Offset

This has a maximum value of 255.

 

 

Transfer Width

For ST transfers, this can be either 0 (Narrow) or 1 (Wide).

Exponent

For DT transfers, it must be set to 1.

 

 

PComp_En

Precompensation enable bit. Supported.

 

 

RTI

Retain Training Information bit. Supported.

 

 

 

Rd_Strm

0

Read streaming and read flow control enable bit. Not supported, so the

 

 

drive will always return zero.

 

 

 

Wr_Flow

0

Write flow control enable bit. Not supported; the drive will always return

 

 

zero.

 

 

 

Hold_MCS

0

Hold Margin Control Settings bit. Not supported; the drive will always return

 

 

zero.

 

 

 

QAS_Req

0

QAS enable request bit. Not supported; the drive will always return zero.

 

 

DT_Req

This bit determines whether DT mode has been requested, in other words,

 

packetized data transfers. Supported.

 

 

IU-Req

Information units enabled request bit. Supported.

 

 

 

Status

A Status byte is sent from the drive to the host during the Status phase at the end of each command as specified in the SCSI specification, unless the command has been cleared by an ABORT message, by a BUS DEVICE RESET message, or by a hard reset.
