Date: 17 July 1991 X3T9.2/91-102 Rev 1 To: John Lohmeyer Chairman, ANSI X3T9.2 (SCSI) From: Doug Hagerman Digital Equipment Corporation SHR 1-3/E29 333 South Street Shrewsbury, MA 01545 Phone: 508-841-2145 FAX: 508-841-2604 Subject: Request for Two Tape Media Identifiers Digital would like to request the addition of the following two media type identifiers to table 9-22: Sequential-Access Density Codes. Code Width Density Value mm (in) Tracks bpmm bpi Code Type Reference Note ----- ---------- ------ ------------ ---- ---- ----------- ---- xxh 12.7 (0.5) 48 394 (10000) MFM C X3.193-1990 1,4 yyh 12.7 (0.5) 48* 1673 (42500) MFM C X3B5/91-174 1,4 * We're not sure whether this is the right thing to put here. The drives have two heads that write bit serial parallel tracks in 24 serpentine passes for a total of 48 tracks. Since neither of the References appear in Apendix D Table D-2 as they are for fairly recent documents, they should be added also.
