4.8.2 Description
SDMS NT ASPI conforms to the Advanced SCSI Programming Interface
(ASPI) version 2.3 specification. Windows applications can use this
interface to gain access to system SCSI devices. Additionally, Windows
applications can retrieve information about installed SCSI adapters and
the SCSI peripherals attached to the adapters. Applications using the
ASPI interface can also issue SCSI I/O requests to the devices. Note that
