I did a bit more searching and it seems that it seems to be a proposed standard -> http://www.google.com.au/search?q=cache:FGU6McIYoNIJ:www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.99/99-223r1.pdf+AIT+MIC+SCSI+command&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 However, finding the gritty details seems considerably more difficult. > IIRC, at least on the early AIT drives, not every AIT tape had the MIC > feature.
