In recent SPI-3 working group meetings the idea of removing 32-bit
support from SPI-3 has been mentioned many times, but no proposal
to do so has been made. Nobody implements 32-bit SCSI and it adds
complexity to the specification.
I propose we instruct the SPI-3 editor to remove all references
to 32-bit support. Removing it would involve elimination of
references to:
32-bit data
Q Cable
Secondary bus
DB[31:16] and DBP[3:2] signals
REQQ and ACKQ signals
