3.6

COMMUNICATING

WITH

THE

ACB-4525Z

The

SCSI

bus

simple

bus

interface.

However,

quick

reading

the

SCSI

spec

may

leave

one

lost

due

its

extreme

attention

detail.

AI'so,

some

SASI-like

controllers

exist

the

market

which

allow

some

deviation

from

the

ANSI/SCSI

protocol.

The

important

point

remember

designing

drive

routine

that

once

the

controller

started

the

host,

THE

CONTROLLER

CONTROLS

THE

SCSI

BUS.

The

controller

drives

the

data

direction

line

(I/O),

the

phase

lines

(C/D

and

MSG)

and

initiates

data

transfers

(REQ).

The

host

driver

should

make

assumptions

about

the

bus

phases

byte

counts.

addition,

the

controller

can

(and

will)

change

phases

between

operations

while

going

through

intermediate

phases.

Thus,

the

phase

lines

(C/D

and

MSG)

are

only

valid

when

the

controller

asserts

REQ. Do

not

write

your

driver

allow

your

hardw~re

phases

when

REQ

not

active

may

'fooled'

phase

changes

between

REQ.

Also,

some

other

controllers

only

support

six-byte

commands,

thus

some

users

have

set

counters

their

software

send

six-

byte

command.

Since

the

ACB-4525Z

controller

supports

six-

and

la-byte

commands,

the

hardware/software

should

not

count

out

the

command

bytes

but

rather

should

send

command

bytes

long

the

controller

requests

them.
