Subject:  X3.131-1994 ANSI Editorial Comments

LJL - The following changes were requested by Bob Hager, the ANSI
editor on SCSI-2.  I have complied with his requests by doing the
obvious except where noted.  The really big help I need is from
the tape folks on table 198 - see the list of deleted references
below - if any of you know of approved ANSI or ISO standards for
those formats please inform me.  Note that only the reference was
deleted the codes and tape attributes are still there.

Change all references of "International Standard" to "standard".

References to other documents (from within tables)
There are 3 tables in X3.131-1994 (tables 101, 153, and 198)

Internal cross-references
Pg. 21, Table 2:  Note 4:  should be "See 5.4.4"
Pg. 130, 8.2.15:  2nd paragraph:  should be "See 8.3.1"
Pg. 203, Table 152:  Non-medium error page:  8.3.2.4 (4 missing)
Pg. 233, 10.1.5, last paragraph on page:  "Refer to 10.5.5 and
10.7...":  these clauses do not exist.  Proper reference?
     LJL - correct reference is 7.5.5 and 7.7.
Pg. 241, 10.2.4 (a), (b):  Are references to 10.4 accurate?  10.4
is definitions.
     LJL - correct reference is 10.1.8.
Pg. 264, 10.3.3.2:  End of 2nd sentence:  should there be a
reference to
10.3.3.3 here to be consistent with 1st sentence of 10.3.3.3?
Pg. 374, 3rd paragraph:  should reference to MODE SENSE page be
17.3.3.3 as in 1st paragraph.
     LJL - correct reference is 17.3.3.1
Pg. 380, 2nd to last paragraph:  As with above, should the
reference here be 17.3.3.3?
     LJL - correct reference is 17.3.3.1

Misc. higher priority
Pg. 43, 6.1.5.2:  Syntax of last sentence unclear... missing a
word?
     LJL - deleted "...is that..".
Pg. 91, Note 62(d):  What is meant by "the ANSI version".  Avoid
using ANSI as a term or adjective.
     LJL - corrected field reference to .."the ANSI-approved
version.."
Pg. 102, beginning with 1st paragraph:  There should be
consistent treatment of the placement and use of RMB.  Shouldn't
it always appear as "removable medium bit (RMB)"?  Is it
redundant to say "RMB bit"?  There is another reference to this
just after Table 165.
Pg. 235, Table 10.1.8:  It's not absolutely clear which items
fall into the CONDITION column and which fall into the SENSE KEY
column.  Could it be reformatted to make this distinction
clearer?
Pg. 417, Figure A.1  Our copy of this figure is blurred and
unreadable.  Also, what is meant by "please refer to the notes in
the text":  what notes?  what text?
     LJL - The file `s2-pg402.doc' on the SCSI BBS (real soon
now) contains an improved figure A.1.  Some caveats - The system
used to print this wonderfull clarified enhanced and improved
figure is not trivial and your results may vary if you attempt to
print this on a lessor, greater, different, system.  You also
must have the latest software releases of all the appropriate
software (not just version number but really have today's
release) and the correct fonts in all needed flavors (truetype
for windows, type 1 for OS/2, speedo for WP DOS) to match the
variety of environments and have consitentcy in output. A few
hundred spare megabytes of disk space is usefull for the swap
files, temporary files, spooler files (and games to play while
waiting for output).  Finally a Laserjet 4 printer with every
option in the catalog and enough memory to run Unix in its own
right is required if you expect to get a full page printout this
side of the millenium.  Other than that it is trivial.

2nd [x])

     LJL - Table is correct as shown based on current Vendor ID
database.

"Inc"?
     LJL - Table is correct as shown based on current Vendor ID
database.

case", should use hyphen

bit in the sense data to one".... matches syntax of 8.2.3.1 (b)
