No, it's not a Jaz drive.  Tape drive's don't have "rigid disk
geometry" pages either 8)

For reference, here's what a Jaz says if you try that :

lovely# scsi -f /dev/rsd6.ctl -m 3

return status 3 (Sense Returned)Command out (6 of 6):
1a 00 03 00 ff 00 

Data in (0 of 255):

Error code is "current errors"
Segment number is 00
Sense key is "Illegal request"
The Information field is not valid but contains 00000000 (0).
The Command Specific Information field is 00000000 (0).
Additional sense code: 24
