SCSI Registers

HTH

Handshake-to-Handshake Timer Expired

0

This bit is set when the handshake-to-handshake timer
expires. The time measured is the SCSI Request to
Request (target) or Acknowledge-to-Acknowledge
(initiator) period. See the description of the

SCSI Timer

Zero (STIME0)

register, bits [7:4], for more information on

the handshake-to-handshake timer.

SCSI Longitudinal Parity (SLPAR)
Read/Write

SLPAR

SCSI Longitudinal Parity

[7:0]

This register performs a bytewise longitudinal parity
check on all SCSI data received or sent through the SCSI
core. If one of the bytes received or sent (usually the last)
is the set of correct even parity bits, SLPAR should go to
zero (assuming it started at zero). As an example,
suppose that the following three data bytes and one
check byte are received from the SCSI bus (all signals
are shown active HIGH):

A one in any bit position of the final SLPAR value would
indicate a transmission error.

The SLPAR register is also used to generate the check
bytes for SCSI send operations. If the SLPAR register
contains all zeros prior to sending a block move, it
