SCSITOOL
DESCRIPTION
The Ampro SCSITooL utility is a powerful and flexible SCSI debugging tool which allows
you to demonstrate, test, and debug
SCSI commands and devices. Options are provided
which allow you to create any desired
SCSI command, and write or read desired data patterns
to
or from any type of SCSI device. Although the program must be run from DOS, SCSI-
TOOL pays no attention to the contents of the SCSI devices accessed, and does not care what
(if any) operating system has been used to write data to them.
OPERATION
Warning!
SCSITOOL can destroy data on the destination SCSI
device. Use this utility with extreme care!
The SCSITooL utility is very easy to use, but you need to understand SCSI command princi-
ples in general,
as well as the specific SCSI command set of the SCSI Target devices you will
be accessing. Refer to the technical information supplied by the SCSI Target devices' manu-
facturers, and to the
ANSI X3.131 SCSI Specification for a full functional specification of the
SCSI interface protocols.
To begin program operation,
type the program's name at the DOS command line:
A> SCSITOOL<Enter>
The program will display a brief sign-on message, followed by the SCSITOOL command
prompt:
Command (C,D,E,R,S,?,<ESC> to quit): __
Entering a "?" results in the display of SCSITooL's command menu:
Commands available:
C - Enter command buffer
o - Enter data buffer
E - Execute
SCSI command
R - Reset SCSI bus
s - Set SCSI 10
? - Display this help message
Command (C,D,E,R,S,?,<ESC> to quit): __
When you use either the C (Enter command buffer) or 0 (Enter data buffer) options, the
program
will display the current contents of the SCSI command or data buffer in one area of
