• Starting Boundary
This field is enabled by the MODE SENSE command. This field indicates
the beginning of the active notch or, if the active notch is zero, the beginning
of the logical unit (IDD).

This field is valid in the MODE SENSE command. This field indicates the
ending of the active notch or, if the active notch is zero, the ending of the
logical unit (IDD) (see Table 4.18).
• Page Notch
This is a bit map which shows whether or not other mode pages are being
changed if the device is notched. The most significant bit of this field
corresponds to page code 3Fh and the least significant bit corresponds to
page code 00h. If it is specified, the IDD disregards this value.
