4.3.1.5 Format Type = 26h (+RW Basic Format)
The Number of Blocks field shall be set to either the value returned by the READ FORMAT CAPACITIES command or
0xFFFFFFFF. In this drive, any other value will be accepted, but it is no effect on the format operation.
0xFFFFFFFF. In this drive, any other value will be accepted, but it is no effect on the format operation.
The Type Dependent Parameter has the meaning of “New format” when it has the value 000000h.
The Type Dependent Parameter has the meaning of “Restart format” when it has the value 000001h.
If the field contains any other value, the drive will terminate the command with CHECK CONDITION status and set SK/ASC/ASCQ
values to ILLEGAL REQUEST/INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER BLOCK.
values to ILLEGAL REQUEST/INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER BLOCK.
If the Immed function is set to zero, then once the foreground format process has completed, the command will be terminated with
GOOD status. If the Immed function is set to one, the drive will return the status as soon as the command descriptor block has been
validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.

validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.
While foreground format process is performed by the FORMAT UNIT Command that the Immed function is set to one, the drive
terminates the READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command and the TEST
UNIT READY Command with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS (2/04/04).
When the background format process is started, these commands will be terminated with GOOD status.

When the background format process is started, these commands will be terminated with GOOD status.
As for the REQUEST SENSE command, while the foreground format process is performed, the drive will return a SK/ASC/ASCQ

The SKSV will be set to one and the Progress Indication field will contain 16 bit unsigned value such that (Progress Indication)/65
536 X 100% approximates the percentage of completion of the background format process. Once the background format process is
completed, the SKSV will be cleared to zero.
