DBD doesn't affect the result, MODE SENSE (6) is actually even worse -
you get the same page without header _and_ with the first byte missing.
BTW, the reason why we don't get DBD is that bridge lies, claiming to be
type 0. Note that for _all_ values of modepage it returns (mutilated)
page 6, which isn't even defined for type 0.

And yes, the only chance that creators of that thing would ever
see the light is colonoscopy; what else is new?
