Refinements of the documentation/Changes of the drivers

  • Documentation 1.1
     
    • If the SenseBuffer with In and Out is NULL, then Request Sense will not be carried out by the driver (only from driver version 1.01 on).
       
    • With InquireSCSI the private-field of all drivers is to be handled in the way it is defined. One may not store one's own data there. With InquireFirst the driver has to fill the private-field completely with NULLs. After this every driver has to set the bit corresponding to the reported bus number in private.BusIds.
       
      With InquireBus on the other hand the driver can do with the field whatever it likes, as no other driver has anything to do with these parameters.
       
    • Order of the explanations changed
       
    • A few more explanations added
       
    • With Open it is best if the driver returns a handle for its own device-ID and reports at least Test Unit Ready and Inquiry with the processor-device.
