Transfer Length blocks of data are transferred to the host, starting from the current logical position

specified by Logical Block Address. Any spacing performed to locate to the specified block

address is performed with mark counting disabled.

Requests falling within the first 250 kilobytes of data on tape will be performed with very little

delay (less than 2 seconds) because the drive caches this data at load time.
