Furtherforward tape motion is inhibited (by a configurationoption) because of the possibility of running to thephysical end of tape. The user should ensure that datais not lost when tape moves beyond EOT limit.Sets when the tape is approaching the EOT tab, remainsset while the tape is beyond EOT. Early EOT is usedby the SCSI or PCI to control the data buffer.An error has been found in the density ident area,the reason is expanded in status byte F10.Set when the tape has passed the EOT reflective markerin the forward direction, clears when the EOT marker isdetected in the reverse direction.The last block traversed had file mark status.Interface write parity; sets if the External Write Parityoption is set. and a parity error is detected on theinterface Write Data lines (IWDO - IWD7).6-49914V Servicing Manual 95 125456 (Draft Issue D)
