This appendix provides information about the INQUIRY command's Negotiated
Rate Information Page that is not provided in Section 5.11.2.7. Specifically, it
provides the codes and meanings for the Transfer Period Factor field (byte 4) and a
table that explains the allowable settings for the QAS, DT, and IU fields (bits 2, 1, and
0, respectively, of byte 7).
Table B-1 provides the codes and meanings allowed for the Transfer Period Factor
field if the value of PARL (Parallel Protocol, bit 2 of byte 6 of the Negotiated Rate
Information Page) is 1.
Table B-2 provides the allowable codes when the value of PARL = 0.

09h Transfer period = 12.5 ns (Fast-80 is latched every 12.5 ns). This code
is valid only if the protocol options bits (QAS, DT, and IU) of the page
have values selected that support double transition (DT) data transfers.
0Ah Transfer period = 25 ns (Fast-40 data is latched every 25 ns).
0Bh Transfer period = 30 ns (Fast-40 data is latched every 30 ns).
OCh Transfer period = 50 ns (Fast-20 data is latched using a transfer period
of less than or equal to 96 ns and greater than or equal to 50 ns).
0Dh – 18h Transfer period = the period factor x 4 (Fast-20 data is latched using a
transfer period of less than or equal to 96 ns and greater than or equal
to 50 ns).
19h – 31h Transfer period = the period factor x 4 (Fast-10 data is latched using a
transfer period of less than or equal to 196 ns and greater than or equal
to 100 ns).
