code. Following the disconnect, the bus is in the Bus Free phase in preparation
for the Arbitration and Reselection phases.
After Reselection, the process continues with the Message In and Data In
phases previously described. The Status phase occurs at the end of the
operation. It allows the target to send status information to the initiator.
Status codes are contained in bits 5 to 1 of the status byte. The various
codes are shown in Table 11. The process ends with the Message In
phase and a Command Complete message followed by the Bus Free
phase.
