[comp.periphs] ANSI Specs

Chuck_SirVAX_Staatse@cup.portal.com (09/07/89)

Anyone know the address/telephone number to get ANSI specs? The
two that I'm looking for are:
         X3T9/88-12F   HSC
             ?         SCSI-2

                                thanks

SCSI 2 is a working document only at this point.  It's not ANSI approved
yet.  However, the current document (March 16, 1989) number is:
  X3T9.2/86-109  Rev. 8  X3T9/89-042.  Copies can be purchased from:
  Global Engineering Documents
  2805 McGaw
  Irvine, CA 92714

Refer to document X3.131-198X.

I post the following file every few months.  Since both of these documents
are still in the draft stage, you can't buy them from ANSI.  You _may_ be
able to get HSC from Global Engineering Documents.  If they don't have it,
contact Don Tolmie at the Los Alamos National Labs (505) 667-5502 -- he
is the Vice-chairman of X3T9.3 and the document editor for HSC.  Please
call Global first.  If they have it, Don will refer you there anyway.

                       How to Get SCSI Standards

   This file has information on obtaining the various SCSI standards.

   American National Standard (ANSI) for Small Computer System Interface
   (SCSI), X3.131-1986.  This approved standard is available from:

        American National Standards Institute
        1430 Broadway
        New York, NY 10018
        Sales Department: (212) 642-4900

   The price is $25.00 each for 1-9 copies.  Quantity discounts are
   available.  If your company is a member of ANSI, you may also be
   eligible for a discount.


   The enhanced Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2) is not an approved
   standard.  It is a working document of the X3T9.2 Task Group that is
   intended to revise and enhance X3.131-1986.  Copies of the most recent
   version of this document can be obtained from:

        Global Engineering Documents
        2805 McGaw
        Irvine, CA 92714
        (800) 854-7179
        (714) 261-1455

   Global has identified this document as X3.131-198X. (The latest revision
   is Rev 10b with a date of 8/22/89.)


   The European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) has also prepared
   a standard on SCSI.  It is known as: Standard ECMA-111 and was published
   in December 1985.  Free copies are available from:

        European Computer Manufacturers Association
        114 Rue du Rhone
        1204 Geneva (Switzerland)


Please note that Global may not have SCSI-2 Rev 10b yet -- it takes a while
to get through the system.
