4.4 SCSI Messages
SCSI messages are used to control the SCSI bus operating sequence. This section
explains how SCSI messages work.
4.4.1 Message formats
There are three types of message formats. In any format, the first byte of each
message is a message code (see Table 4.73).
• 1-byte message:
Only the message code
• 2-byte message:
Message with a message code from 20h to 2Fh. Each 2-
byte message consists of a 1-byte message code and a 1-
byte parameter. (The ODD does not support this type of
messages).
• Extended message:
Multiple-byte message with message code 01h. An
extended message code and message length are defined
in each message.
