Reading 8500 Format Tapes

To use the EXB-8505 to read an 8500 format tape, follow these steps:

1. Load the data cartridge in the EXB-8505.

2. Issue a READ command to read the data. The EXB-8505

automatically determines the tape’s format.

Writing and Reading in 8200c Format (EXB-8505 or

EXB-8205)

This section describes how to use the CTS to write, append to, and

read tapes in 8200c format.

Writing 8200c Format Tapes

To write tapes in 8200c format, follow these steps:

1. Load a blank data cartridge in the CTS (or load a previously

written data cartridge that you want to overwrite).

2. Issue a MODE SELECT command at LBOT. Set the Density

Code in the Block Descriptor to 90h (or 00h for the EXB-8205).

Note: Refer to page 10-68 if you cannot issue MODE SELECT

commands.

3. Issue a WRITE or WRITE FILEMARKS command to write the

data.

Appending to 8200c Format Tapes

If a tape has already been written in 8200c format and you want to

write additional data on the tape, follow these steps:

1. Load the data cartridge in the CTS.

2. Issue a READ, SPACE, or LOCATE command to move away

from LBOT and to a legal position for appending.

Note: Legal positions for appending in 8200c format are at the

end-of-data (EOD) mark and the beginning of a long

filemark.
