I have placed SPC-2 revision 9 on the FTP site in
<ftp://ftp.symbios.com/pub/standards/io/t10/drafts/spc2/spc2r09.pdf>
Revision 9 incorporates the following T10 approved proposals:
98-184r6 Echo mode for READ/WRITE BUFFER
98-188r2 Method for defining very long command blocks
98-246r1 May not clarifications in SPI-3
99-110r1 SCSI Version Proposal Flavor Three for SPC-2
99-130r1 Changes to Inquiry
99-146r1 Correction in interaction of persistent and legacy reservations
99-110r1 offered substantial room for editorial rework and the I made
several changes including assigning specific code values to all the
approved standards mentioned in the Scope clause of SPC-2. I have asked
for working gropuu time to review these changes at the May meetings.
To prepare for this review, you should inspect the defintion of the
standard Inquiry data in 7.4.1 and the last several pages of Annex C.
References to approved ANSI standards have been changed to match the
notation used in the T10 project list, the use of dashes has been
replaced with colons.
The definition of reserved has been changed to use the phrase "... are
not required to check ...". A protocol identifier field has been added
to the protocol specific mode pages (18h and 19h), with 0=FC, 1=Parallel,
and others assigned by the project editor. The communications device
document references have been changed from SSC to SCSI-2, since the
communications device definition will not appear in SCC.
Thanks.
Ralph...
