[net.micro.mac] SCSI Bus Specification Sought

mo@seismo.CSS.GOV (Mike O'Dell) (01/09/86)

I am searching for the SCSI Bus specification.  I think it might be
an ANSI document, possibly X3T9.2, but don't know for sure.  I want
to build someting which lives on a SCSI bus, so I need the low-level
link protocol, as well as the specification of the commands and their
expected effects, responses, etc.  Any help would be appreciated.

Copied from an NCR manual - I make no claim for accuracy:

Copies of the proposed SCSI standard (X3T9.2) can be obtained with
a $20 prepayment (include self-addressed mailing label) from:

X3 Secretariat, Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Assoc

One can get soft copy of the SCSI spec on two 5 1/4" ibm format
floppies from mini-micro systems.  All that they ask is that you
send the floppies in a self-address, stamped mailer.  The address
is:

	Carl Warren
	Western Editor
	Mini-Micro Systems
	Cahners Publishing Co.
	2041 Business Center Drive, Suite 109
	Irvine, CA  92715
	Request: SCSI TAR0003

They sent me one in about 5 day turnaround, so they must mail it back
within a day or two of receipt.
