OFFICE MEMO Command Queuing and SAM Date: 2/8/94
Is it required by SAM that any SCSI protocol support all of the traditional
queuing functions (e.g. head of queue, ordered, abort, clear queue, etc...). ?
It would be a goodness if only unordered queuing and some abort function (reset
anyone) be required.
The reason I am opening this is because of ATA command queuing, where I want to
develop a very simple solution. Functions other than unordered are either
useless or can be emulated by the host (i.e. just send down commands one at a
time for ordered commands). This simplification should help in making queuing
easier for ATA implementations.
Feedback is appreciated.
Jim
