The SCSI standards are really hard to read. For my project at work I'm trying to implement a USB mass storage device, which seems to require SCSI Primary Commands (SPC), SCSI Block Commands (SBC), and M ... something Commands (MMC). That's at least three standards documents, and they're all written like the damn IEEE Software Requirements Specifications we had to write for the one software engineering class I took. (I changed majors immediately afterward.) They explain just about everything in scary detail, but they never seem to answer the questions that pop into my head while I'm reading it. The info's there, but you have to read the whole damn thing before it makes any sense at all.
