Override
The following density codes are the preferred codes used to define density.
Code Description
00h Density override disabled.
4Ah 233,000 bpi, 40 logical tracks, serial cartridge tape
300.0 GB / 600.0 GB (Super DLTtape II).
This 1-byte field holds the setting of the density desired on a Write
from BOT. It can be set at any time, but is zeroed-out during a
cartridge load. For the override to be meaningful, it must be set after
the drive loads the cartridge. After being set, its value overrides any
application resetting the drive to default density (0) with a MODE
SELECT command.
