Subject: SCSI-II Mode page 2


          John,

          I was reading the SCSI-2 specification about mode page 2 in
          section 8.3.3.2 in rev 10k.  In it, the units for bus
          inactivity, connect, and disconnect times are 100 ms.
          However, in 10g (September 1991), the units are specified as
          100 microseconds.  I am assuming that ms represents
          milli-seconds since in table 7 of section 5.7, that
          abbreviation is used.

          Is this an intended change?  I would like to know what the
          correct units are since I don't remember them changing and
          the units are not spelled out in 10k.  I am not arguing for
          either case but rather a clarification.

          Thank you.
