NOTE: This Product Specification Manual is applicable for AIT-2 Turbo drive. Notice This document contains proprietary information which is protected by copyright. No part of this document may be photocopied, reproduced or translated to another language without prior written consent of Sony. [. . . ] The status of the AIT-bit is valid after a cassette is initialized. Until then the AIT-bit indicates ZERO, even if the bit is set with the Mode Select command. 0-DDS emulation mode (default) 1-AIT native mode 6-50 SONY AIT-2 Turbo drive SDX-550V series Ver. 1. 0 MODE SELSECT Device 6. Command Specification 0-Do not create optional device area. (DDS mode only) 1-Create optional device area. (AIT mode only) ABS 0-Do not create the Absolute Volume Map information. (Not Supported) 1-Create and maintain the Absolute Volume Map information. ULPBOT 0-Load/unload is performed at the Optional Device Area, except for partition 0. 1-Load/unload must be performed at the device area located at PBOT, even if there is an Optional Device Area. (default) PRTH 0-Allow Thread; Thread the tape after cartridge insertion, and return ready status. (default) 1-Prevent Thread; Do not thread the tape after cartridge insertion, and return ready status immediately after the cartridge is loaded. The tape will automatically be threaded when a media access SCSI command (Erase, Locate, Mode Select Page 11h, Read, Read Position, Seek Block, Space, Write, and Write File-mark) is received from the host. (Not Supported) PONEJ This bit is recorded in drive's EEPROM, and it effects the drive itself. (Not Supported) 0-Power On immediate Eject disable. If this bit set to 0, then the cassette will stay in the drive when power is applied. (default) 1-Power On immediate Eject enable. If this bit set to 1, then cassette will be immediately ejected when power is applied to the drive. Span The Span field is in binary notation. When MIC cartridge is inserted, this field is set to 0Ah (00001010B), other values are prohibited. SysLogAlive 0 0-System logs located only on tape. (default for SDX-T3N) 1 1-System logs located only in MIC. (default for MIC cartridge) The SysLogAlive-bits shall be set to 00B for non-MIC cartridges, and to 11B for MIC cartridges. Other bit combinations are prohibited. MIC This bit is effective for Mode Sense only. If this bit is 0 then MIC has not been detected in the cassette.

Command Specification MODE SELECT 6. 7. 8. Append Partition (32h) The Append Partition Command is available in the AIT mode. The Append Partition Command takes effect if the current partition is the last partition. When the command is issued in the last partition, SDX-550V will automatically space to the EOD area find the bottom of the Device Area, and then create a new partition. [. . . ] Over Length: The incorrect length condition that exists after executing a read command when the length of the actual block read exceeds the requested transfer length in the command descriptor block. Only the requested amount of data is returned to the host. Partition: The entire usable region of recording and reading paths in a volume or in a portion of a volume. If there is more than one partition, they shall be numbered starting with ZERO (i. e. , beginning of partition ZERO). [. . . ]
