Write Delay
Time
This field indicates the maximum time that the
drive will wait with a partially full buffer before
forcing the data to tape (100 ms increments). The
buffer Full/Empty ratio, which is dynamic, can
cause data to be written sooner than the Write
Delay Time would indicate. The Write Delay Time
defaults to 200 (C8h). This causes the buffer to be
flushed in 20 seconds. Maximum value is 6500
(1964h) and the minimum is 15 (0Fh). This
represents a range from 11 minutes down to 1.5
seconds.
Values between 0 and 15 on a MODE SELECT, are
rounded down to 0. This causes the data to go
straight to the medium without delay.
