If the SCSI specification is available electronically, how about posting it? If it's too large, then break it up over a few days. With the size of the games that come over some of the other news groups, the SCSI spec will seem insignificant.

Just because others use (waste?) bandwidth is not a good reason to post large documents with limited interest. Both SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 documents can be obtained electronically. You may either call the SCSI BBS at 316-636-8700 or you may follow the directions in the following article from Mark Seiffert. (Mark probably still has the Rev 10b SCSI-2 files as I just finished posting them yesterday.) ------------------- cut here ------------------------------------------------ Last Changed: Sun Feb 18 14:08:54 CST 1990 This is a periodic posting of information about the mgse archive server and the available files from the SCSI-bbs, including SCSI, ESDI, IPI, and Fiber Channel documents from the standards committees. Thanks to John Lohmeyer of NCR, a majority of the SCSI related files from the SCSI BBS are now available from the mgse mail archive server. These files were sent to me by Mr. Lohmeyer at his expense so that more people would have access to them. The SCSI BBS (316-636-8700) contains a large amount of data relating to SCSI, and ESDI as well as SCSI-2, IPI, and Fiber Channel, as well as the last revision of the SCSI-1 standard before it went to publication by ANSI. If you are interested in finding out what is available from the archive server, send the message that follows to archive@mgse and you will get back an index of names and descriptions and a unix style ls -lR listing of filenames and sizes. - cut here ----------------------------------------------------------------- help send other/scsi-bbs/list send other/scsi-bbs/index - cut here ----------------------------------------------------------------- if you are interested in the SCSI Version 1, Revision 17B document, have the bbs send other/scsi-bbs/area07/17b.zip in addition to the index and list by including these lines at the end of the above message; - cut here ----------------------------------------------------------------- set uuencode send other/scsi-bbs/area07/17b.zip - cut here ----------------------------------------------------------------- There files are also available for anonymous uucp at 504-467-1069, 2400 baud, login 'archive' in /archive/other/scsi-bbs.
