SCSI Command Lengths
Originally the most significant 3 bits of a SCSI opcode specified the length of the CDB. However, when variable-length CDBs were created this correspondence was changed, and the entire opcode must be examined to determine the CDB length. The lengths are as follows:
| Opcode (hex ) | Length |
|---|---|
| 00h to 1Fh | 6 |
| 20h to 5Fh | 10 |
| 60h to 7Dh | reserved |
| 7Eh | variable (more than 16 bytes) |
| 7Fh | extended (variable length; may contain one or more CDBs) |
| 80H to 9Fh | 16 |
| A0h to BFh | 12 |
| C0h to FFh | vendor specific |

Famous quotes containing the words command and/or lengths:
“Diamonds may have been a girl’s best friend in an era when a woman’s only hope of having a high family income was to marry a man who was well-off, but today, marketable skills that will enable a woman to command a good income over her lifetime are a better investment.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“There seems to be no lengths to which humorless people will not go to analyze humor. It seems to worry them.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
