Autosense means the sense data is delivered automatically along with the SCSI CHECK CONDITION status. The host does not run REQUEST SENSE. A "contingent allegiance" (the time between the CHECK CONDITION status and the host retrieving the sense data) never exists. Adding autosense to ATAPI would be a significant change in the protocol. -- Rob Elliott, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hewlett-Packard Industry Standard Server Storage Advanced Technology > -----Original Message----- > From: Pat LaVarre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 2:13 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [t13] auto sense of Atapi > > > This message is from the T13 list server. > > > > From: Elliott, Robert (Server Storage) [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wed 1/29/2003 9:55 AM > ... > > SAM-3 is no longer describing protocols without > > autosense, so in one sense it's too late to add > > ATAPI recognition to SCSI. > > My ignorance of SAM is vast, but could we elaborate > anyhow?
