Rewind (01h) 3
The REWIND command directs the tape drive to position the tape at the
beginning of the currently active partition (for DLT drives, this is BOM).
Before rewinding, the tape drive writes any write data that is in the buffer
to the tape medium and appends an End of Data marker.

Immed Immediate. If this bit is set to 1, the tape drive first
writes any remaining buffered data to tape medium
and adds an EOD marker. It then returns status to
the host before beginning the actual rewind
operation. If this bit is 0, status will be sent after the
rewind has completed.
Tech Tip: The immed bit is accepted, but ignored in
processing.
