Field Name Description
BT Block Type. The Block Type bit indicates how the Block Address field
is interpreted. The first recorded object (block or filemark) is at
address 0, and Block Addresses count both data blocks and filemarks.
CP Change Partition. Since multiple partitions are not supported, this bit
must be set to 0.
Immed Immediate. If this bit is set to 1, status is returned as soon as the
operation is started. If set to 0, status is returned after the operation
has completed.
Block Address The Block Address field defines the SCSI Logical Block Address to
which the media will be positioned. These addresses start at address
0 and include data blocks and filemarks.
Partition Not applicable (see Change Partition field above).
