With respect to Floppy Disks, I have in front of me: American National Standard Interfaces Between Flexible Disk Cartridge Drives and Their Host Controllers ANSI X3.80-1981 In spite of the not so recent date, the copy was recently acquired from ansi: american national standards institute, inc. 1430 broadway, new york, new york 10018 Quite likely there [is/will be] a Winnie standard (scsi=scuzzy), either published by these folks, or in the works at the committee level. I can recommend an independent standards distributor: National Standards & Specifications 5161 River Road Bethesda, MD 20816 Tel: 800-638-8094 except in MD, where it is 301-951-1310 Ask for Beverly Hicks, ext. 437 Howard Hull [If yet unproven concepts are outlawed in the range of discussion... ...Then only the deranged will discuss yet unproven concepts] {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | harpo!seismo } !hao!hull
