53C810 maximum disc size?
« on: December 20, 2012, 05:36:44 PM »
What is the physical maximum LBA size the 53C810 PCI SCSI controller can make use of? ie can it send a "read (16)" command? (16-byte CDB)

This is a pure down to the bits hardware question.

Read (12) should be enough, using a 32-bit LBA (2 TiB maximum w/ 512 byte blocks).
As would be Read (10), also 32 bit LBA but only 16 bit transfer length - 32 MiB.

I guess Read (16) was introduced with SCSI-3. Unfortunately the older standards are hard to find...
