3. Suppose during an asynchronous parallel SCSI data transfer someone removes a floppy disk from the drive that is the intended target of the transfer. How would the initiator know that the error has occurred during the phases:
• Bus-free • Status
• Selection • Message
• Command • Reselection
• Data
a) During which of the phases is it possible that good data may be written to the floppy if the data transfer is a “write” operation?
b) If the transfer is a “read,” at which point would the system have good data in the buffer? Would the system ever acknowledge this data?
Sorry the answer is not available at the moment…
If you are able to find the answer, please make sure to post it here. So that your Juniors have smile on their lips and feel happy.
