SCSITX History:

Rel. 1.02       added the SCA-2 pinout and rewrote the addresses
                really had forgotten WORM and MO devices <sigh>
Rel. 1.01       due to some actual questions, combined App. E into C,
                added Appendix F on SCSI commands, Status and Sense
                information
Rel. 1.00       added some basics on SSA, DCB connector, references 
                to other documents, App. E and F, cursed again on
                some CDROMs <g> and entered termination identification.
                Some questions came up over disk size limits, -> 4.6.
---------------- in between - weeks without time.......
Rel. 0.98/0.99  added DoubleSCSI, FC/AL and FireWire, changed a few
                details - corrected the 'P'-cable diff. pinout <sigh>
Rel. 0.97       added chapter 7 about the bus protocols and added some
                fine tuning ... let's see if i got it right..
Rel. 0.96       added short PnP and SCAM parts, expanded device
                chapter 6, splitted text in chapter files.
Rel. 0.95       Couldn't stop working <g> Todd Plummer made me think
                about RAID, so i included a simplified definition with
                some generic SCSI device parts (chapter 6)... Also,
                Mike B. pointed me towards a _big_ fault in the serial
                SCSI-3 part...MBytes/sec instead of MBits/sec <sigh>
Rel. 0.94       Minor changes contributed by Skip Lutz.
                No content changes
                Rewrote introduction
Rel. 0.93       finally dug out my old LADDR docs and added a slightly
                more thorough definition.. Added Appendix D with some
                QIC tape definitions. It's not directly relevant to
                SCSI, but i got a few questions for the QIC/SCSI
                relationship lately, so why not...
                At this point, Skip Lutz rewrote parts of the text
                for a more readable english and some news.
Rel. 0.92       Bertil Hagnell requested some information about SCSI
                utilities, so i added some as chapter 5. Definitely not
                complete, but where should i end this ?
Rel. 0.91       68pin and 110pin connectors/ Disconnect / SCSI-ATAPI /
                Dal Allen's article / added SDMS description / BBS #
Rel. 0.9        Entered drivers for DOS and OS/2.
                Moved the connectors to App. A.
Rel. 0.8        Initial release on CIS.

        As stated above, this is based mostly on my actual knowledge
        about SCSI. Of course, i got this information from some places.
        Some of these i can remember and/or still use, are:

          SCSI-2 spec (ANSI document X3.131-1994)
          parts of the SCSI-3 drafts
          various articles in c't, Byte and PC Magazine
          Apple "Inside Macintosh" for the Mac connectors
          various manuals, text snippets and eavesdroppings <g>

        Today i realized that the german-language MagnaMedia CIS forum
        holds most internet faq's. So, i'll include what i find new in
        the SCSI faq.                                --Gerhard, 15.9.94
        - to clarify this (due to a question) - this isn't and i won't
        write a "competing" SCSI faq; Jonathan Vail - who started it - 
        and Gary Fields do a great job in collecting the information 
        and maintaining it, and anyway, one of my information sources
        was the SCSI faq.                            --Gerhard,  8.3.95
