In the days when SCSI-2 was emerging, some drives did claim SCSI-2 but did not correctly implement it. The st driver first tries MODE SELECT with the page format bit set to set the block descriptor. If not successful, the non-page format is tried. The test only tests the sense code and this triggers also from illegal parameter in the parameter list. The test is limited to "old" devices and made more strict to remove false alarms.
