MESSAGE (MSG, pin 42)
Is asserted by the target when it issues a message byte to notify completion of a command.
See Bus phases, below.
DATA BUS (DB0 to DB7, pins 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 and 16)
Is a parallel data bus consisting of 8 signals from DB0 (least significant) to DB7 (most
significant). 1 byte of information is transferred across the bus with each REQ/ACK
handshake. It is important to remember that the data lines are active-low and therefore are
inverted in both directions when communicating with the host microcomputer.
4.2.1 Other pins
All odd numbered pins are 0V, and pin 34 is +5V.
4.2.2 SCSI connector pinout (PL2 and J4)
SCSI pinouts are as follows:

4.3 Bus phases
The bus has several distinct operational phases and cannot be in more than one of these
phases at any given lime.
Bus phases occur in a prescribed sequence. The reset condition can interrupt any phase and is
always followed by bus free. Any other phase can also be followed by the bus free phase.
