Page 111 highlights

The format device page contains parameters which specify the medium format. This page contains no changeable parameters. ! Tracks per Zone specifies the number of tracks within the zone. This field is a function of the active notch. A value of 0 in the following parameters indicates that they are drive specific. Alternate Sectors per Zone Alternate Tracks per Zone Alternate Tracks per Logical Unit ! Sectors per Track specifies the number of physical sectors within each track. This field is a function of the active notch. ! Data Bytes per Physical Sector specifies the number of user data bytes per physical sector. The value depends upon the current formatted block length. ! Track Skew Factor indicates the number of physical sectors between the last block of one track and the first block on the next sequential track of the same cylinder. This field is a function of the active notch. ! Cylinder Skew Factor indicates the number of physical sectors between the last block of one cylinder and the first block on the next sequential cylinder. This field is a function of the active notch. ! SSEC of zero indicates that the drive does not support soft sector formatting. ! HSEC of one indicates that the drive supports hard sector formatting. ! RMB of zero indicates that the media does not support a removable fixed disk. ! SURF of zero indicates that progressive addresses are assigned to all logical blocks in a cylinder prior to allocating addresses within the next cylinder.

The format device page contains parameters which specify the medium format. This page contains no
changeable parameters.
!
Tracks per Zone
specifies the number of tracks within the zone. This field is a function of the active
notch.
A value of 0 in the following parameters indicates that they are drive specific.
Alternate Sectors per Zone
Alternate Tracks per Zone
Alternate Tracks per Logical Unit
!
Sectors per Track
specifies the number of physical sectors within each track. This field is a function
of the active notch.
!
Data Bytes per Physical Sector
specifies the number of user data bytes per physical sector. The
value depends upon the current formatted block length.
!
Track Skew Factor
indicates the number of physical sectors between the last block of one track and
the first block on the next sequential track of the same cylinder. This field is a function of the active
notch.
!
Cylinder Skew Factor
indicates the number of physical sectors between the last block of one cylinder
and the first block on the next sequential cylinder. This field is a function of the active notch.
!
SSEC
of zero indicates that the drive does not support soft sector formatting.
!
HSEC
of one indicates that the drive supports hard sector formatting.
!
RMB
of zero indicates that the media does not support a removable fixed disk.
!
SURF
of zero indicates that progressive addresses are assigned to all logical blocks in a cylinder prior
to allocating addresses within the next cylinder.
