4-14 Quantum DLT 7000 Tape System

The transfer width is two the transfer width exponent bytes wide. The transfer

width that is established applies to all logical units. Valid transfer widths for

the DLT 7000 tape drive are 8 bits (m = 00h) and 16 bits (m = 01h). Values of

m greater than 01h is reserved.
