	Would anyone know where I could get more info on SCSI commands 
for tape units.  For example, if I send a SCSI request to read a block,
how do I know the size of the block returned.  I have noticed different size
blocks on different tape units, how is this obtained?  Also where can I get
a comprehensive list of available SCSI commands?


Thanks,
