7.4.3 Signal driving conditions
(1) Signal status value
Table 7.4 shows the correspondence between the input interface signal level at the receiving end and its logic state.

(2) Signal driving method |

Two driving methods are available:

|
|
–The signal is actually driven by an SCSI device to become false
–No SCSI device is driving the signal
In the interface operating sequence, the driving method of the BSY and RST signals which may be driven by two or more SCSI devices simultaneously must be the
