My old SCSI texts ...

Please keep in mind that these text files are about ten years old now - companies are out of business, addresses are old, newer SCSI-3 topics like Domain Validation are not covered and so on....

An updated and revised HTML version will possibly show up some time, although i still cherish the hope that some other guy will do it ;-)
