Hi Bill,
Thanks for the confirmation.
Could this clarification item be added to the MMC committee agenda for
Tuesday 5/6 morning? David Walp will join the MMC meeting on behalf of
Microsoft.
With regards,
David Burg.

Hi again,
I knew that I misunderstood something.
As Mike Berhan pointed out, both MMC-4 and MMC-5 require that the
Version field be 05h.
The Fuji version claims compliance with SPC and nothing higher. I do not
know why.
The Response Data Format is not consistent with any version of SPC, nor
is it consistent with Fuji. This will require some archive research to
discover the reasoning behind the difference.
Cheers,
Bill McFerrin
