Silicon Graphics (SGI)
Note DAT 72 drives do not support Silicon Graphics. This chapter
only applies to DDS-3 and DDS-4 drives and autoloaders.
SGI DMA hardware requires that DMA starts on a 32-bit aligned address. HP
DDS drives only limit disconnects to a 16-bit alignment. To account for this,
the switch setting disables the data phase disconnect. You should also keep
block transfers short to avoid tying up the bus:

If you want
tar
to default to short block transfers, change the
512*512
in
your
tpsc
or
scsi
HP entry to
128*512
(128-kilobyte blocks) or, better
still,
64*512
(64-kilobyte blocks).

MTCAN_SETSZ|MTCAN_SILI|MTCAN_AUDIO|MTCAN_SEEK|MTCAN_CMTYPEANY,
/*minimum delay to I/O is 4 minutes, because when a retry is

*rewinds to BOT, repositions, and tries again.*/
