The REPORT DENSITY SUPPORT command returns details about the tape formats supported by the drive. The data is returned as a header and a series of descriptor blocks. If the Media flag is set, then one descriptor block is returned with the data for the currently loaded tape. If the Media bit is clear, then one descriptor block is returned for each format supported by the drive.

The format of the REPORT DENSITY SUPPORT header is as follows:
