Messages—General
The messages supported by the various drives are listed in a table in the individual drive's Product Manual,
Volume 1. Table 3 lists Messages that are defined by the SCSI protocol. The message code values are given a
direction specification (In-Out). Detailed descriptions follow the table. Messages other than those supported by
a drive are answered by the drive with a Message Reject message.
