Which ones? The CCW opcodes and sense bytes used on a parallel channel
for, e.g., a card reader are not the same as those used for a tape
drive. The CCW opcodes and sense bytes used on an ESCON channel for,
e.g., a disk drive are not the same as those used for a tape drive.

True, but a book for the same type of channel also won't be of any use
if it's not for the right device.

It's hard to know why you would want one, given that each class of
device has its own opcodes and sense bytes even when on the same type
of channel.
