NCR has a SCSI BBS at (316) 636-8700 [Wichita, Kansas] which archives a lot of
SCSI documents. If anyone is able to make a local call and download the SCSI
1 and 2 Standards docs [S1R17B.ZIP (133K) and S2510-C.ZIP (388K)] and post them
to atari.archive.umich.edu, it would be appreciated! The NCR BBS at Colorado
Springs, CO [(719) 596-1649] might have the files too, although I didn't check.
The NCR Literature Center [800 334-5454, (719) 596-5612] will mail the 5380
SCSI chip design manual to anyone interested.
The BBS also posted these references:
Product Support Data Sheets, etc.

How to Get SCSI Standards
(and other SCSI Publications)
This file contains information on obtaining the various SCSI standards and
other published information about SCSI. If you know of other published
material on SCSI that should be included here, please leave a message on
the SCSI BBS or send a Fax to John Lohmeyer 316-636-8889.
American National Standard (ANSI) for Small Computer System Interface
(SCSI), X3.131-1986. This approved standard is available from:
American National Standards Institute
11 West 42nd Street, 13th Floor
New York, NY 10036
Sales Department: (212) 642-4900
You can also buy ANSI standards from Global Engineering Documents. The
cost is slightly higher, but their sales people are much more helpful and
your order will be processed more smoothly. Most committee draft documents
are also available.

for test SCSI devices using a Micro Design International Host
Adapter on a PC-compatible machine. I believe the host adapter
uses a 5380 SCSI protocol chip and thus this code could be fairly
easily ported to other host adapters employing a 5380.
