A track group is a set of tracks that is recorded concurrently. The sets of

14 data tracks in a data band are data sub-bands. There are 16 data

sub-bands per data band. The data tracks are accessed in a serpentine

manner.

A wrap is a track group recorded in the physical forward or physical

reverse direction. The wraps are recorded in a serpentine fashion

starting in data band 0. The tape contains 56 track groups, 28 written in

the forward direction and 28 written in the reverse direction. Even-

numbered wraps are recorded in the forward direction (BOT to EOT),

and odd-numbered wraps are recorded in the reverse direction (EOT to

BOT).
