Note: The Formatted Density Code ID 0006h, which is in the Device Common Attribute section and the Medium
Density Code ID 0405h, which is located in the Medium Common Attributes section, will need to be use in some
cases in conjunction in determining the media format.
The MEDIUM MANUFACTURE DATE: Identifies the date of manufacture of the medium. The format is
YYYYMMDD.
The MAM CAPACITY: Is the total capacity of the MAM, in bytes, at manufacture time. It does not indicate the free
space of an unused medium auxiliary memory because some of the medium auxiliary memory space may be
reserved for device-specific use making it inaccessible to the application client.
MEDIUM TYPE and MEDIUM TYPE INFORMATION: Gives information about non-data media and other types of
media. The MEDIUM TYPE INFORMATION attribute is interpreted according to the type of medium indicated by the
MEDIUM TYPE (table 12-12).
Note: Depending of the hardware vendor, this attribute may not be hard coded into the MAM at manufacture time.
