Thank God you got Bill's old phone number here! He would not appreciate
the flood of phone calls.  First, Bill is the former Chairman of X3T9.2
(I replaced him last year).  Second, neither Bill nor I can provide copies
of SCSI or CCS -- the demand is just too great.  What follows is part of
a file from the SCSI Bulletin Board (316-636-8700) on how to get SCSI
standards.  You can also get CCS from Global Engineering Documents (ask
for "CCS"), although I would recommend getting SCSI-2 instead.  Global
also sells photocopies (under license with ANSI) of SCSI-1 for $40 (Why
pay more for a copy? Global has same-year service. Sorry. Flame off.)

                       How to Get SCSI Standards
 
This file has information on obtaining the various SCSI standards.
 
American National Standard (ANSI) for Small Computer System Interface 
(SCSI), X3.131-1986.  This approved standard is available from:
 
     American National Standards Institute
     1430 Broadway
     New York, NY 10018
     Sales Department: (212) 642-4900
 
The price is $25.00 each for 1-9 copies.  Quantity discounts are 
available.
 
 
 
The enhanced Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2) is not an approved 
standard.  It is a working document of the X3T9.2 Task Group that is 
intended to revise and enhance X3.131-1986.  Copies of the most recent 
version of this document can be obtained from:
 
     Global Engineering Documents
     2805 McGaw
     Irvine, CA 92714
     (714) 261-1455
     (800) 854-7179
 
Global has identified this document as X3.131-198X. (The latest revision is
Rev 6 with a date of 10/29/88)
 
 
The European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) has also prepared 
a standard on SCSI.  It is known as: Standard ECMA-111 and was published 
in December 1985.  Free copies are available from:
 
     European Computer Manufacturers Association
     114 Rue du Rhone
     1204 Geneva (Switzerland)
