SCSIBios V1.0

1. Intro:

SCSIBios is an extension to the operating system of the ATARI ST, STE and TT series. It installs a new XBios handler and than waits until it will be requested by special adaptec user application. SCSIBios provides a means to handle every I/O with the ACSI and SCSI interface of ATARI Computers.
You may copy this extension freely, but the following files must be included in the copied material and no copyright notes may be changed:

SCSIBIOS.PRG (The OS Extension for the AUTO-Folder)
SCSIBIOS.TXT (The documentation you're just reading)
SCSIBIOS.LIB (Binding-Library for Turbo-C V2.x)
SCSIBIOS.H (Header to be included in your programs)
MSCSI.C (Demonstration source for SCSIBios)
MSCSI.PRG (Executable program of demo source)
MSCSI.PRJ (Project file for demo program)

If you use SCSIBios frequently in you programs and/or you want to distribute SCSIBios and/or programs using SCSIBios for commercial purposes I recommend you to send me a demonstrational copy of your program and DM50,-- for the use of SCSIBios.

2. Disclaimer:

SCSIBios V1.0 is tested in certain programs and a command line inter- preter. Until now there have been no errors found. I will not take any responsilities for SCSIBios damaging any soft- or hardware. It is in the responsibility of anyone using SCSIBios to take care of his equipment.

3. Check the System for SCSIBios:

There are two ways to check if SCSIBios is installed in the system:

a) SCSIBios installs a cookie in the cookie jar name 'SCSI'. The value of the cookie is the version of SCSIBios which is installed. The High-Word contains the major version number and the Low-Word contains the minor version number.
b) If no cookie jar is present you may find SCSIBios by checking the exception vector #46 (XBios Trap handler) of your system. If SCSIBios is installed, you will find an 'XBRA' protocol right in front of the code pointed to by the exception vector. You can check for SCSIBios using the following code:

 CheckBios: 
 move.l #-1, -(sp) ; Get exception vector #46 
 move.w #46, -(sp) 
 move.w #5, -(sp) ; Setexc 
 trap #$D 
 addq.l #8, SP ; clear stack 
 movea.l D0, A0 ; check if SCSIBios is 
 cmpi.l #'SCSI', -8(A0) ; already resident 
 beq.b ishere 
 clr.l D0 
 ishere: rts

This function returns in D0 a value not equal to zero if SCSIBios is installed.

4. Functions Provided By SCSIBios:

In the descripton of the funtion below the parameter 'pdev' is used in two ways. On ATARI ST and STE computer it represents the physical unit number to be accessed. On the ATARI TT computers 'pdev' ranging from 0 to 7 represent the ACSI-devices and 'pdev' ranging from 8 to 15 re- present the SCSI-Devices.

If you ty to access units in the TT-DMA range without running on a TT the function result will always be -1 (0xff)

This function-description is not ment to replace a complete SCSI documentation you will always have to refer to your unit data guide to get the correct parameters and to knoe how those commands are used.

4.1. Common Functions

4.1.1 SCSIVersion
Name >Get SCSIBios Version< - Return version number of SCSIBios

 Definition #include <scsibios.h> long SCSIVersion(void);

Description This function returns a long value containing the version number of the installed SCSIBios. It might be useful to check this version numbers if some later releases are containing more functions.

Result The High-Word contains the major version number and the Low-Word contains the minor version number.

4.1.2 SetTimeout
Name >Get/Set Timeouts< - Get/Set the Timeouts in SCSIBios

 Definition #include <scsibios.h> 
 SCSI_TIMEOUT *SetTimeout(SCSI_TIMEOUT *scsi_timeout);

Description This function sets the internal timeouts used in SCSIBios. As a function result you will receive a copy of the internal timeout-structure. Don't try to change the time- outs by changing the values pointed to by the structure. It is only a copy! The times specified in this struct are in 200Hz cycles according to the internal system counter. 'scsi_timeout' is a pointer to a struct looking as follows:

 typedef struct 
 { 
 ULONG BeforeCommand; 
 ULONG AfterCommand; 
 ULONG ShortTimeout; 
 ULONG LongTimeout; 
 ULONG Wait4IRQ; 
 ULONG XtraShortTimeout; 
 ULONG CommandDelay; 
 } SCSI_TIMEOUT;

'BeforeCommand' is waited before sending the command. This time is additional to 'CommandDelay'. Preset is 20UL (25ms).
'AfterCommand' is waited after sending the command. This time is additional to 'CommandDelay'. Preset is 20UL (25ms).
'ShortTimeout' is used as the time to wait for response by the attached unit. It is used for commands like Inquiry. Preset is 60000UL (30s).
'LongTimeout' is used as the time to wait for response by the attached unit. It is used for commands like HDRead or HDWrite. Preset is 120000UL (60s).
'Wait4IRQ' is used as the time to wait for response by the attached unit. It is used for special long timing commands like HDFormat. Preset is 2400000UL (20min).
'XtraShortTimeout' is used as the time to wait for response by the attached unit. It is used for commands like TestUnit. Preset is 50UL (250ms).
'CommandDelay' is used as the time to pass by between sending two commands to the Unit. This timeout is necessary on TT and STE computers, because they are that fast that mose units are totaly confused.

You can get the SCSIBios timeouts without setting any new ones by passing -1L as 'scsi_timeout'.

Result This function returns a copy of the internal timeouts.
