Quantum DLT 7000 Tape System

READ Command (08h)

The meaning of EOD is different for a READ command than for a WRITE-related
command. EOM is reported only when the physical EOM or End-of-Partition
(EOP) is encountered. The drive returns a CHECK CONDITION status. The
EOM and Valid bits are set and the Sense Key is set to MEDIUM ERROR. The
information fields contain the residue count and the Additional Sense Code and
Additional Sense Code Qualifier fields are set to EOM/P DETECTED. The tape
is physically positioned at EOM/P.
If any READ command cannot be successfully completed, the drive returns a
CHECK CONDITION status. Further commands should attempt to move past
the anomaly and to complete successfully.
