# Note: You are free to add, delete, edit mode pages and values as required
# only the mode pages in this file will be saved back into the device when
# you issue the -mpimport command. All other pages will not be affected.
#
# Obviously very bad things can happen to a device if you make a mistake and
# load incorrect values, or load correct values onto the wrong peripheral.
#
# CURRENT Pages -> These are volatile and reset to SAVED pages with power cycle (changeable)
# FACTORY Pages -> These are factory settings burned into the firmware (not changeable)
# SAVED Pages -> Power-on default pages (changeable)
# CHANGEABLE -> The non-changeable pages are bitmasks where a 1 indicates a bit is changeable
#
# So ... The safest thing to do is just make changes to the CURRENT page to see
# if it behaves as you desired. If so, then burn the SAVED pages.
# Do this by just commenting out the text with leading #
#
# Record layout information:
# Each record contains the 12 byte header which corresponds to the standard 4-byte header which
# is then followed by the 8 byte block descriptor. Do NOT change any of these values.
# Next, you have the mode page itself. The 13th byte corresponds to the first byte of the mode
# page. You will note the high order bit is set for the mode page number. This is due to the
# ANSI specification, and is something that is done for this byte only. So, if you want mode
# page number 3, you will see this reported as 83h.
#
#
# The 14th byte corresponds to second mode page byte, which is always the page length.
#
# Example: You want to enable the write cache for a disk. The ANSI spec states this is bit #2, byte #2
# on mode page 8. (So the 88 corresponds to Mode page byte #0)
# Sample Original Value (Write cache disabled):
