The "Address Format Before Conversion" field in byte 4 and the "Address Format
After Conversion" field in byte 5 are the same values as the codes which show the
expression format for address information specified by the SEND DIAGNOSTIC
command parameters. The "Address Format After Conversion" field shows the
expression format of the address information reported in bytes 6 to 13 of this
response data. "Address format" codes are as shown in Table 4.59.
Table 4.59 Address format

The description of address information shown in bytes 6 to 13 is the same as the
description specifications in the D List transferred from the INIT by the
FORMAT UNIT command. For details, see the description of the FORMAT
UNIT command (Section 4.3.1). Furthermore, when the logical block format is
used, the address is shown in bytes 6 to 9 and zero is reported in the remaining
byte positions. However, when the address information specified in the "SEND
DIAGNOSTIC command points to a position on the disk media which is not used
as physical data blocks, X 'FFFFFFFF 00000000' is reported as the logical block
address after conversion.
