It seems that another definition is needed.
CDB
* is NOT just the 1-byte opcode
* IS a 6 to 12-byte 'packet' of data that contains
a) the opcode for a SCSI/ATAPI command
b) command-specific parameters
* INCLUDING a non-zero 'allocation length'
if any data is to be transferred
(units = bytes or number of blocks (of 'current logical
blocksize')
Judging from the way the term CDB is used, we have
* one set of people treating it as if it were merely a command opcode
* one set of people with the 'correct' definition
Please make sure you know which definition YOU are using !!!
