Washington D.C., September 1996 - Accredited Standards Committee X3, 
Information Technology is announcing the second public comment period for 
X3.301:199x.  Development of this draft standard is being done in technical 
committee X3T10, Lower Level Interface

The public review extends from September 13, 1996 to November 12, 1996.

The SCSI-3 family of standards provides for many different types of SCSI 
devices (disks, printer, tapes, scanners, and many more).  This standard defines 
a device model that is applicable to all SCSI devices.  Other SCSI-3 command 
standards expand on the general SCSI device model in ways appropriate to 
specific types of SCSI devices.

This standard defines the SCSI commands that are mandatory and optional for 
all SCSI devices.  This standard also defines the SCSI commands that may apply 
to any device model.
