The SCSI Bus and Ide Interface by F Schmidt

The SCSI Bus and Ide Interface by F Schmidt

Almost all computers, including PCs, workstations and mainframes, are equipped with a SCSI interface. The SCSI Bus is designed to connect hard drives, tape drives, CD-ROMs, scanners and printers to any type of computer, while the IDE hard disk interface is found almost exclusively in the world of IBM PC compatibles. Outside the ANSI standard documentation, little additional information was available about this specification until The SCSI Bus and IDE Interface was first published. This fully expanded and updated second edition continues to provide an accessible description of both SCSI and IDE interfaces, including an explanation of essential terminology together with a breakdown of the commands and protocols. The book acts as a tutor to SCSI and IDE and an invaluable guide to the ANSI literature.Key aspects of the book: *Description of peripheral core technologies and device model *Detailed descriptions of SCSI and IDE, including the physical and logical interfaces, command sets and a summary of the essential terminolog *Thorough cross-referencing to the previously impenetrable ANSI documentatio *A practical chapter on testing SCSI targets Features new to this edition: *All SCSI material has been adapted and updated to reflect the new SCSI-3 standard documentatio *A new chapter on SCSI-3 Serial interface *A fully updated disk containing the source code for the program examples and a SCSI monitor tool for testing and troubleshooting SCSI devices
