I find myself needing to learn about this stuff. Where can I get copies of the Official Specifications for SCSI, SCSI-1, SCSI-2, synchronous SCSI, and all the other variants? Are they standards sanctioned by ISO, ANSI, IEEE, or some other such body? Is there an industry SCSI association, much like there are for folks who work with VME and Multibus? Any recommended books?

SCSI1 is an ANSI standard. SCSI2 is due to become an ANSI standard. For copies of the SCSI specs try: Global Engineering Documents, 2805 McGaw, Irvine, CA 92714 (800) 854-7179 or (714) 261-1455. Ref Document X3.131-198X. The ANSI comitte developing SCSI is known as "X3T9.2" Its chairman is: John Lohmeyer (X3T9.2 Chairman) NCR Corporation 3718 N. Rock Rd.

SCSI falls under the jurisdiction of ANSI X3T9.2. The SCSI bulletin board (316-636-8700) in Wichita has membership/meeting information, as well as some on-line documents which may be useful. > Any recommended books? Try SCSI: Understanding the Small Computer System Interface, published by Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-796855-8.

Where can I get the most up-to-date SCSI specs ? I have seen refs to it as an ANSI standard, are that the ones ? What's ANSI's address, is there an online copy ? Thanks, sandro- PS: I have not been able to unpack those arc files in Unix, but I can be convinced to retry :-(( ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alessandro Forin / School of Computer Science / Carnegie-Mellon University Schenley Park / Pittsburgh, PA 15213 / Ph: (412) 268-6861 ARPA: af@cs.cmu.edu
