NOTE SCSI-2 Drive Command Set Read Long Command (DEH) Transfer Length Rel Adr PBA SC The Transfer Length field specifies the number of bytes of data and ECC information to be read: 4096 media = 4760 bytes (4096 data + 664 pointer, CRC, pad and ECC). For 9.1 Gbyte Capacity drives only. 2048 media = 2380 bytes (2048 data + 332 pointer, CRC, pad, and ECC). For 5.2 Gbyte capacity drives only. 1K media = 1200 bytes (1024 data + 176 pointer, CRC, pad, and ECC). 512 media = 610 bytes (512 data + 98 pointer, CRC, pad, and ECC). All other numbers are rejected unless SC = 1. A relative address bit of one indicates that logical block address specified is a two's complement offset from the last logical block address accessed. A value of 0 indicates that the logical block address is an absolute address. A Physical Block Address bit of 1 indicates that physical block addressing is used. A PBA bit of 0 indicates that logical block addressing is used. A Sector Count bit of 1 indicates the transfer length is represented in sectors rather than bytes. A "sector" consists of 2380 bytes for 2K media, 1200 bytes for 1K media or 610 bytes for 512 media. A Sector Count bit of 0 indicates the transfer length is represented in bytes. When this command is executed with 14X 512 or 1024 byte/sector media, the drive will return a CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key/ additional sense code will be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST/INVALID COMMAND. 2-146 Chapter 2
