Does anyone know of any good books or articles that explain how to program a SCSI interface? I have to write some software to control an Exabyte EXB-8200 8mm tape drive with a Rancho Technologies RT10-XT SCSI adapter on a PC. Unfortunately, I can't use the rom bios calls that they supply because this application will be running without DOS (it is a balloon-borne cosmic ray data acquisition program stored in rom with no disk, terminal, or keyboard), so I will have to program the SCSI myself. The documentation that I already have is hard to understand, which is the reason for my request. Please reply by e-mail. If anyone else is interested, I can summarize for the net or send individual replies. Thanks very much.

I have to write some software to control an Exabyte Suggest you locate a copy of ADES' "SCSI Buyer's Guide", originally published Nov 1982. At that time their address was:: Adaptive Data & Energy Systems, 2627 Pomona Blvd., Pomona, Calif. 91766. I have been told that their name may have changed. I don't know if it will help but the book has a telephone number of (714) 594-5858 for them.

At that time their address was:: [stuff deleted] ADSI was bought by Western Digital several years ago. I am told you can still get the ADSI book from John KInsler at WD (714) 474-2033. There is a new book on SCSI from NCR available for $10-15. Call 800-325-SCSI. The book is called "What is SCSI?"{ Hope this helps... John Lohmeyer
