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:
“But as some silly young men returning from France affect a broken English, to be thought perfect in the French language; so his Lordship, I think, to seem a perfect understander of the unintelligible language of the Schoolmen, pretends an ignorance of his mother-tongue. He talks here of command and counsel as if he were no Englishman, nor knew any difference between their significations.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“There seems to be no lengths to which humorless people will not go to analyze humor. It seems to worry them.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
