== Description ==
Test program for the Floppy/SCSI print (SCSI part only) and SCSI devices connected to the bus<ref>[[ND-210523G]] program description, page 35</ref>.

== Supported products ==
Products supported by version B.
<pre>
Vendor Product Device type
NDMICROP 1375 Direct
TANDBERG TDC 3600 Sequential (streamer)
OSI LD 1200 SCSI Write Once (optical disk)
NDCDC EMD 97201 (736) Direct
NDCDC EMD 97201 (368) Direct
NDSTK 2925 Sequential (magtape)
ARCHIVE VIPER 150 21247 Sequential (streamer)
</pre>

== Commands ==
>CLEAR-DEVICE
This command will perform a bus reset on the selected SCSI bus. Can be used in "hang" situations.

>DECODE <Item>
This command can decode some SCSI items.

>DUMP-SENSE-DATA

>LIST-DEVICES
This command will list all SCSI host adaptors in ND-100 an the connected devices along with some important device information.

>PRINT-TAPE-STATISTICS

>RUN-ADAPTOR-TESTS <Test list>

>RUN-DEVICE-TESTS <Test list>

>SELECT-DEVICE <Adaptor name> <Id number>
This command select the SCSI host adaptor and SCSI device to operate on. The commands "RUN-ADAPTOR-TESTS" and "RUN-DEVICE-TESTS" will use this selected device.

Legal answers for adaptor are:
* Adaptor name (ADAPTOR-n, n=1:4).
* Adaptor number (1:4).
* Logical device number for adaptors data field (2202B:2205B).
* Hardware device number for adaptor (144300B, 144400B, 144500B, 144600B).

Legal answers for ID numbers are 0:7. ID number 7 is normally the SCSI host adaptor, and ID 0 is normally equivalent to "DISC-SCSI-1" which is the boot disk.

>SET-BUFFER-LIMITS
The operator may set first and last memory page for the DMA buffer (only used when the host adaptor is placed in MULTIPORT-4).

>SET-PARAMETERS <Loop mode> (<Loop count>) <Abort mode> (<Abort count>) <Supress mode>
This command will set parameters for execution of the commands "RUN-ADAPTOR-TESTS" and "RUN-DEVICE-TESTS".

>SET-TAPE-PARAMETERS
Change the default parameters for the write/read magtape test (test number 20) and the write/read streamer test (test number 30). (Only available when a sequential device is selected).

>TAPE-SERVICES
This command performs some useful magtape/streamer services (LOAD, UNLOAD and REWIND).(Only available when a sequential device is selected).

>PROGRAM-STATUS (TPE command)
This will include the values of some flags in the program.
