4.3.1BUS FREE phase

The BUS FREE phase is used to indicate that no SCSI device is actively using the SCSI bus, and that it is available.

SCSI devices shall detect the BUS FREE phase after the SEL and BSY signals are both false for at least a bus settle delay.

SCSI devices shall release all SCSI bus signals within a bus clear delay after the BSY and SEL signals become continuously false for a bus settle delay.
