SCSI Peripheral Device Type (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A SCSI Peripheral Device Type is a way of describing what capabilities are provided by a SCSI device. It is a five-bit field which can be found in the Standard Inquiry Data provided in response to an Inquiry Command. This field was defined in the very early days of SCSI and is now too small. The possible values are: o 00h - direct-access device (e.g., magnetic disk) o 01h - sequential-access device (e.g., magnetic tape) o 02h - printer device o 03h - processor device o 04h - write-once device o 05h - CDROM device
