This is the raw command string for formatting cartridges with a 3M MCD-40.
To start a format operation, enter this from the CLI:
type formattape to tape:$$RAWCMD$$
The $$RAWCMD$$ must be in upper case. This file must be smaller than
a tape block. Everything in the file after the first line is ignored.
The bytes have the following meanings:
byte 0 = 04 = the SCSI Format_Unit command
byte 1 = 80 = immediate command execution
byte 2 = 20 = condition tape before format
byte 3 = 00 = reserved
byte 4 = 00 = interleave (00,02-07 are valid values)
byte 5 = 80 = no retries, 80 = retries
