SCSI Command Lengths
Originally the most significant 3 bits of a SCSI opcode specified the length of the CDB. However, when variable-length CDBs were created this correspondence was changed, and the entire opcode must be examined to determine the CDB length. The lengths are as follows:
| Opcode (hex ) | Length |
|---|---|
| 00h to 1Fh | 6 |
| 20h to 5Fh | 10 |
| 60h to 7Dh | reserved |
| 7Eh | variable (more than 16 bytes) |
| 7Fh | extended (variable length; may contain one or more CDBs) |
| 80H to 9Fh | 16 |
| A0h to BFh | 12 |
| C0h to FFh | vendor specific |

Famous quotes containing the words command and/or lengths:
“It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“The minister’s wife looked out of the window at that moment, and seeing a man who was not sure that the Pope was Antichrist, emptied over his head a pot full of..., which shows to what lengths ladies are driven by religious zeal.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
