Board Information (15H)

Per Target - Synch Offset

This value is negotiated between initiator and target when the target is able to operate in synchronous mode. The common value is agreed upon via Messages between initiator and target. The Synch Offset is the maximum number of REQ pulses allowed to be outstanding before the corresponding ACK pulses are received. This value is usually a function of the buffering available on the device.

Per Target - Width

This value reports the result of negotiations between initiator and target for whether the target will operate in wide mode. A value of 0 for this field indicates the target width is 8 bits. A value of 1 indicates 16 bit mode operation.

Per Target - Selected Sense Bytes

If the Selected Sense option is in effect, these 16 fields indicate which Sense bytes, in which order, will be returned from the device.

If you have enabled 16 Selected Sense Bytes using the Extended Unit Options command you will receive the Selected Sense bytes in two Status Blocks. In that case, the first eight Sense byte Fields displayed in the Board Information Data Structure will be returned with the first Status Block. The last eight will appear in the second Status Block.
