Message In Support

(Parallel SCSI only)

Message Parity

Error

09h The initiator has detected a parity error in a message. The drive will retry

the message. (See

“Message In Support (Parallel SCSI only)

” below for

details).
If the message is received immediately after an Identify message or after

the Command Complete message has been sent, the drive will go Bus

Free.

Message Reject

07h This message is sent when the initiator does not support a message sent by

the drive or that the message is inappropriate. If the message being

rejected is Disconnect, Synchronous Data Transfer Request or Wide Data

Transfer Request, the operation continues without those features. For all

other messages, the message is treated as an Abort message.
If the message is received during a Command, Data or Status phase,

immediately after an Identify message or after the Command Complete

message has been sent, the drive will go Bus Free.

No Operation

08h This message has no effect and is ignored.

Command Complete

indicate that a command is complete. Once the message is sent, the

drive releases the bus and goes to Bus Free.

Disconnect

from the bus and go to Bus Free. During a Data phase, it is always pre-

ceded by a Save Data Pointers message. If a Message Reject message is

received in response to this message, then the disconnect is prevented.

Extended Message

01h See “Extended Message Support” below.

indicate which Logical Unit is reconnecting.
