Interesting. 12 is one of the few commands that every device must implement, 
at least that is true for SCSI (and the linked SASI spec also lists it as 
"standard", not "optional")...

According to the table on page 31 (36), that means it is a group 7 - 
"controller specific diagnostic" - command with the opcode 03h.

One is a standard command, the other is a proprietary command. You would 
need the drive's documentation to figure out what that does (or 
reverse-engineer it...).
