WRITE BUFFER Command (3Bh) SDLT 600 SCSI Interface Guide

4-250 January 2005 81-81200-02 REV A01

4.38.1 Write Combined Header and Data Mode (00h)

The data to be transferred is preceded by a 4-byte header consisting entirely of reserved bytes. The

drive discards this header (it is not stored in the buffer).

The Buffer Offset field must be set to 0 for this mode.

4.38.2 Write Data Mode (02h)

This mode is similar to Header and Data Mode, except that there is no header in the data passed to the

drive. The drive detects any potential buffer overruns and rejects the WRITE BUFFER command.

Buffer ID The modes described for the Mode field only support a Buffer ID of 0, except

Echo Buffer mode, which ignores the Buffer ID field. If the Buffer ID field is a

value other than 0, the drive rejects the command. The drive also detects and

rejects commands that would overrun the buffer.

Buffer Offset This field contains the offset in bytes from the beginning of the buffer.
