| | Maxtor Showcases Engineering Samples of Serial Attached SCSI Drives At HP World 2003 |
 | | Building on the company's accomplishments in being first to market with the previous three generations of SCSI interfaces, Maxtor engineers were able to successfully initialize the target device, execute SCSI commands, and read and write data across the interface. | | | "Adaptec continues to work with technology leaders like Maxtor to drive Serial Attached SCSI development and bring the performance, flexibility and scalability benefits of the next-generation storage technology to our customers." Maxtor recently announced it reached a SAS engineering milestone when it successful exchanged SAS data packets between two prototype devices. | | | For more information on Serial Attached SCSI, please refer to the Maxtor website at: http://www.maxtor.com/en/technologies/serial_attached_scsi/index.htm About Maxtor Corporation Maxtor Corporation (http://www.maxtor.com) is one of the world's leading suppliers of information storage solutions. |

| | Sane backend for sharp-scanners |
| | Since each buffer is filled with a single read command sent to the scanner, its size is limited automatically to the size allowed by the operating system or by the Sane SCSI library for SCSI read commands. | | | At present, the Sane SCSI library supports queued read commands only for for Linux. | | | The sane-sharp library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to Sharp SCSI scanners. |

| | README.ATAPI |
| | It is hard to understand why Linux still uses a default driver setup that is designed for IDE CD-ROM drives made before 1994 (using a IDE compat mode that only allows to use the drive read-only) and does not handle to send SCSI commands to ATAPI drives by default. | | | It should rather be called: "SCSI host adapter emulation" The ATAPI standard describes method of sending SCSI commands over IDE with some small limitations to the "real" SCSI standard. | | | It should rather be called: "IDE-SCSI host adapter emulation" Some naming explanations: ATA Attachment Adapter IDE Integrated Drive Electronics (A Drive that includes ATA) ATAPI ATA Packet Interface When cdrecord has problems with ATAPI drives on Linux this usually is a Linux kernel problem. |

| | Linux sg3_utils package |
| | Unix dd command variant, uses SG_IO ioctl to send SCSI commands to do reads and writes when instructed. | | | [In version 1.14 sgm_dd also use the sg driver's asynchronous (write()/read()) interface but that has been changed to the SG_IO ioctl in version 1.15 since the asynchronous action is not needed. | | | The SCSI generic (sg) interface still represents a cleaner interface than the primary device names since the drivers behind primary device names have their own policies, may interfere with error processing and in some cases run their own state machines. |

| | CDRoller- Reading audio CD : digital audio extraction engine |
| | To detect appropriate read algorithm for user's CD drive CDRoller utilizes as commands described in SCSI-3 and SCSI-2 standards as vendor specific commands found in available manuals. | | | The first problem is that all 2352 bytes of sector contain audio data - there is no positioning information returned in the block read. | | | The second problem is that an audio sector as "raw" sector has no auxiliary field for layered error correction (L-EC) therefore reading block of damaged sectors can result in invalid data recorded to the output file. |

| | Manual page for dsa(7D) |
| | Note that although the DSA controller is physically connected to SCSI devices, the interface to composite drives is that of a direct access disk "dadk." There is no way to send SCSI commands to composite drives on a DSA controller. | | | If the DSA controller is used to read the Solaris CD disk for installation, Adaptec 1540A emulation should be enabled. | | | The DSA controller is target 0 on the SCSI bus but should be set up to appear as target 7 in the emulation mappings. |

| | iSCSI: All you need to know about iSCSI |
| | NFS and CIFS were designed to transfer complete files (as in NAS), while iSCSI was designed to transfer data between servers and storage systems at the block level (as in SAN), similar to how servers read and write to internal disk drives. | | | Answer: iSCSI (Internet SCSI) is a protocol that encapsulates SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) commands and data in TCP/IP packets for linking storage devices with servers over common IP infrastructures. | | | iSCSI, a block based storage protocol, is superior in speed (up to 10 times faster) to NFS, CIFS file-based protocols. |

| | SCSI write blocker, computer forensic investigation protection and preservation |
| | Paralan's SCSI Write Blocker allows data to be read at full speed, however, it will block any and all write commands thus preventing the possibility of writing to, or formatting the drive under examination. | | | To prevent any system problems when write commands are ignored, a false acknowledge of writing is reported to the host computer. | | | By using a Hardware Write Blocking interface, Computer Forensic Investigation may be accomplished without fear of compromising the data on the drive. |

| | Hale's HIW: CHS Translation |
| | The CHS used at the INT 13H interface is converted to the LBA that is used in the SCSI commands. | | | LBA addressing is also used at the INT 13H interface by the AH=4xH read/write calls. | | | The LBA value produced in step 1 is the same as the LBA value produced in step 3. |
