Additional Page
Length This field indicates the number bytes in the page. However, the value does
not include bytes 0 and 1. The length is returned in MODE SENSE
commands and must subsequently be set to the same value when
performing MODE SELECT. If the page length does not match that expected
by the drive, a CHECK CONDITION status is returned, sense key set to
ILLEGAL REQUEST.
The drive returns a CHECK CONDITION status with sense key set to ILLEGAL
REQUEST if it receives an unsupported Page Code or a Page field with values
not supported or changeable. In such cases, no parameters are changed as
a result of the command.
