Functions which will be considered for incorporation include:

Transfer commands unique to SCC-2 devices;
Control commands to manage the operation of an SCC-2 device;
Optional device mapping and pass-through support, and;
Other capabilities which fit within the general scope of implementing the SCSI Controller Commands-2 on a broad range of applications, and other capabilities that may be proposed during the development phase by the participants in the project.
