Operational Specifications for Variable Block Rotating Mass Storage Subsystems. Category: Hardware Standard. Subcategory: Interface

摘要

This standard provides operational specifications for command codes, data formats, sense and status information, etc., for variable block rotating mass storage subsystems which attach to the I/O Channel Interface, FIP 60.* This standard will facilitate the connection of variable block rotating mass storage subsystems to general purpose computer systems; however, additional optional specifications of track format and sense information are provided for the most common device types.
