FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk User Manual 6 Drive Parameters Most SCSI device drivers can automatically detect the total number of sectors on the FFD, using the READ CAPACITY command, and configure them accordingly. However, some older device drivers must obtain the drive geometry parameters manually. The physical drive parameters are only a convention, and have no effect on how data is stored on the FFD.

FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk User Manual 10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About SCSI Q: What is SCSI? A: SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a general-purpose, parallel bus system. It originated with Shugart’s 1979’ SASI (Shugart Associates System Interface), and Shugart and NCR presented it to the ANSI in 1981. It became official in 1986, when the ANSI-committee X3T9.2 defined the SCSI-1 spec as Document X3.131-1986. SCSI is now an acknowledged and very well standardized multipur

FFD 3.5" SCSI Flash Disk User Manual Q: What is Plug-and-play (P&P) SCSI? A: Plug-and-play SCSI is an extension of the generic plug-and-play specification. P&P is an approach for defining an auto-configuring environment for ISA boards. One of the key features of P&P- SCSI is SCAM. Q: What is SCSI Configured AutoMagically (SCAM)? A: SCAM is a protocol for automatic SCSI ID assignment. It is included in the SCSI-3 parallel interface drafts. The SCAM master (typically the host adapter) scan
