SCSI Description
3-16 Quantum DLT 7000 Tape System
9. Examines the DATA BUS to determine the SCSI ID of the reselecting drive.
10. Asserts the BSY signal within a selection abort time of its most recent
detection of being reselected.
The initiator does not respond to a RESELECTION phase if bad parity is
detected or if more than two SCSI ID bits are on the DATA BUS.
The drive:
11. Detects the BSY signal is true.
12. Asserts the BSY signal.
13. Waits at least two deskew delays.
14. Releases the SEL signal.
15. The drive can then change the I/O signal and the DATA BUS.
The initiator:
16. Detects the SEL signal is false.
17. Releases the BSY signal.
The drive:
18. Continues asserting the BSY signal until it relinquishes the SCSI bus.
3.5.4.2 Reselection Time-Out
Two optional time-out procedures are specified for clearing the SCSI bus if the
initiator waits a minimum of a selection time-out delay and there has been no
BSY signal response from the drive.
1. The initiator asserts the RST signal.
2. The initiator follows these steps:
a) Continues asserting the SEL and ATN signals and releases the DATA
BUS.
b) If it has not detected the BSY signal to be true after at least a selection
abort time plus two deskew delays, releases the SEL and ATN signals,
allowing the SCSI bus to go to the BUS FREE phase.
SCSI devices that respond to the RESELECTION phase must ensure that the
reselection is still valid within a selection abort time of asserting the BSY
signal.
