Me, in private conversation, I speak of SFF 8070 as the LS-120 OEM manual, because of
how sharply and pointlessly it diverges from Scsi.
In addition to the format issues, if you try thinking of SFF 8070 as Scsi, you may as
well trip over ...
2) For devices that include move block descriptors along with mode sense data, is the
DBD bit of the cb active hi or active lo?
3) For apps that care if seeks are immediate, is seek immediate or not? If seek is
immediate and the host doesn't wait for DSC to rise, what happens if the next command
arrives before DSC does rise?
4) I think something was strangely vendor-specific about the language of write-protect
as well, but I don't remember any details.
5) Also I'm not sure the specified SK ASC ASCQ error encodings remained broadly
compatible over the years as hosts reckless enough to intepret those evolved.

I would suspect it is so because the LS-120 floppy uses a fixed subset
of the format unit pages, which would hardly fit there. My suspicion only.
Thanks to one of your recent postings I had the chance to find out
that it is SFF-8070 which is about those floppies - until then our
ATAPI LS-120 floppies just could not format ("illegal request"...).
Thanks for that posting back then!
