Extended BPB for Device
The physical device
driver maintains two BPBs for each drive. One is the current BPB that corresponds
to the media in the drive. The other is a recommended BPB based on the
type of media that corresponds to the physical device. (For example, for
a high-density drive, the BPB is for a 96 tracks-per-inch (TPI); for a low-density
drive, the BPB is for a 48 TPI). The low bit of the Command Information
field indicates which BPB the application needs to see.
