Just to clarify this again; the "1" superscript in Fig. 56 (SPI-3
rev.11) applies ONLY to the SPI L_Q/DATA portion of the words in paranthesis
right? So like u said the target can send status to break a stream of multiple
commands. But my question is this: Words in subclause 14.3.1 say
"After transferring all the SPI command information unit bytes the
target shall change to a DT DATA IN phase and transmit a SPI status information
unit with the status defined in the SCSI Architecture Model-2 standard for this
condition."
After reading SAM-2 I understand that the target can send either a TASK
SET FULL or a BUSY. Is this right? Or is the target restricted to return only
a TASK SET FULL status?
Please clarify,
Sriram
