4179.0. "Need to locate SCSI docs" by CSOA1::MARES (you get what you settle for) Tue Oct 10 1995 12:19

    Am trying to locate several Digital documents which describe how we
    implement SCSI devices.  They both begin with a part number EK-SCSI....
    
    Can anyone point me to the electronic location of these documents?

4179.2SCSI help for third partiesCSOA1::MARESyou get what you settle forTue Oct 10 1995 15:5019
    Well...
    
    thanks to boys in field service (yep, that's my name for them, forever)
    for helping with tracking this info down.
    
    We used the TIMA TOOL application to hunt down these beasties:
    
    	EK-SCSIOV-001   Digital SCSI:  An Overview
    	EK-SCSIS-SP-001 Digital SCSI:  Developer's Guide
    
    They exist in a Digital internal system for use with the DECwindows
    Bookreader application.  They are INTENDED for third party developers
    who are ENCOURAGED to develop strange and unusual SCSI devices for use
    with Digital systems.
    
    Wonders never cease...

        "boys", or "field service"?

4179.5Part number updateTRUCKS::RICHARDSMike Richards @SBP, UKWed Oct 11 1995 04:4313
    Hi,
    
    re: .1  You used the wrong search string in LOS use SCSI (searches are
    done on the title) not EK-SCSI and you get lots of manuals covering SCSI.  
    Also the word obsolete is explained as meaning that the technical manuals 
    are not orderable through LOS any more but can be browsed.
    
    re: .2  The part number for the overview document is wrong (too many
    digits) it should be EK-SCSIS-OV.
    
    
    Hope this helps,
    Mike.

    I believe you can always get the latest info by checking with:
    
    	Storage Architecture Group at SSAG::ASK_SSAG

    Still looking for these SCSI documents.
    
    No reply from the ASK_SSAG conference.
    
    Can anybody help?

Those documents are pretty old -- they date to 1988 or 1989 -- and I never
saw electronic copies after the final versions were published.  I think
you're out of luck.

    If your looking for info on Digital UNIX, then the following
    guide may be helpful:
    
    "Writing Device Drivers for the SCSI/CAM Architecture Interfaces"
    
    Part Number  AA-PS3GC-TE
    
    Of course, it's more software oriented. Are you looking for the
    hardware implementation ?  
    
    If so, one of the CPU manuals may prove helpful. For example, the
    
    "DEC 3000 300-900 AXP Models System Programmer's Manual" should 
    have enough detail. It's part number is "EK-D3SYS-PM.B01
    
    And, there are others for the various platforms but I don't know
    if those are available for the general public. This one is. 
    
    Let me know and I'll try to find a pointer to the .ps files. 
    
    Hope this helps!

    Hey, thanks for that list of SCSI docs from the SSB.  Where did you
    find this info -- I sure was not able to?

    I happen to work in the SSB.  Anytime anyone is looking for part number
    assistance, a good place to look is in VTX ESSB.  You can find parts
    for hardware/software documentation, kit parts, condist listings, ect...
    
    
    If ever anyone is looking for break the seal (pc sw) for internal use,
    you can call STREAM INT'L (DIGITALS supplier at this time) at
    800-934-0970.   Tell them you are a DIGITAL employee and ask for the
    part/price your cost center would be charged.  Then, you can either
    fill out an Internal SW Order Form or call DTN: 264-4446 to order
    the software.  The only catch is that on break the seal, there are 
    some products that are on an approved list, meaning you could just 
    send in the form or call.  The products not on the approved list means 
    you would have to fill out the form and attach an approval to it.  
    You can find the approved PC SW list in VTX PCSOFTWARE.
