IEEE Mass Store Reference Model - Draft

[Lansing J Sloan]

FC, HIPPI, IPI, and SCSI Folks,

 A revised draft of the IEEE Mass Storage Reference Model is
 available for the purpose of soliciting technical and editorial
 comments.

 PostScript copies of the document should be available soon.

 Postscript copies of the document will be obtainable from the NASA Lewis
 anonymous ftp site, swedishchef.lerc.nasa.gov.  The document is in three
 parts, Houston.{toc, pre, doc}, in directory mass_store.

 The plan is to get the Model into a shape that the IEEE Storage System
 Standards Working Group (SSSWG) can vote to remove the "draft".  The
 schedule is to vote at the SSSWG April meeting (third full week).

 Technical discussion regarding the Model should be conducted on
 the SSSWG reflector:
      IEEE+MSS at larc.nasa.gov
 To join the reflector, send a request to
      IEEE+MSS-request at larc.nasa.gov

 Please contact the document editor, Richard Garrison,
 for more information regarding availability of the draft and methods
 to participate and provide comments.
