The SCSI Enhanced Parallel Interface (EPI) technical report (INCITS TR-23-1998) is up for maintenance review at the March 13th T10 meeting. >From the EPI abstract:

"This technical report describes SCSI configurations that may be achieved within the context of the specifications in the SCSI-2, SCSI-3 SPI, SCSI-3 Fast-20, and SPI-2 standards. These configurations have one or more configuration parameters expanded beyond that documented in the standard documents and may require special components, special restrictions, or an interpretation of the underlying technical reasons for parameters specified in the standards. This technical report describes the considerations that can lead to effective implementations of special components but does not describe the detailed design of any component. The information in this technical report does not supersede any requirements in the referenced standards."

T10 will need to make a recommendation on whether to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this technical report.

The final T10 draft of the EPI TR is available at:
