Data Structure

The Data Structure returned by the Board Information command has two parts.
The first part of the structure consists of a special header primarily containing
General Board Information (including hardware configuration).

The second part of the returned structure consists of eight or sixteen blocks of
data (dependent on the setting of the FMT bit in the Options field of the Board
Information command). These blocks describe the Unit Options that are set for
each target attached to the RF3880. The first block corresponds to SCSI ID 0,
the second to SCSI ID 1, etc.

Each of the fields of this Data Structure are described above and on the
following pages.
