X3 Announces the Public Comment Period for 
X3.292:199x, Information Technology - SCSI-3 Interlocked Protocol (SIP) 


Washington D.C., April 1996 - Accredited Standards Committee 
X3, Information Technology is announcing the public comment period for 
X3.292:199x.  The public review extends from April 26, 1996 to 
June 25, 1996.

This standard defines the SCSI-3 Interlocked Protocol (SIP).  The role of SIP is to 
supply a mapping of the SCSI-3 command sets to the SCSI parallel bus as defined 
in SCSI-3 Parallel Interface (X3.253:1995).  SIP is closely derived from the 
protocol portions of SCSI-2 (X3.131:1994).  SIP is intended to be a fully 
compliant expression of SCSI-3 Architecture Model (SAM) (X3.270:199x).
