Field

Description

Identify

The Identify bit must be set to 1. This identifies the message as an IDENTIFY
message.

DiscPriv

Disconnect Privilege. The DiscPriv can be 0, provided that no other I/O process
is currently active in the drive. If not set to 1 and other I/O processes are
currently active in the drive, the drive returns BUSY status.

LUNTAR

The Logical Unit/Target Routine (LUNTAR) field must be set to zero. The drive
supports a single Logical Unit Number (LUN 0). A LUNTAR bit of one causes
the drive to send a MESSAGE REJECT message and switch to the BUS FREE
phase.

Reserved

The Reserved bits must be zero. If a Reserved bit is non-zero, the drive returns
a MESSAGE REJECT message and switches to the BUS FREE phase.

LUNTRN

Logical Unit Number.
