I agree. In DEC's case, support for MSCP certainly was first, but I
believe the protocols are contemporaries. NCR was a very early SCSI
player, but Western Digital, Shugart or someone like that might have
driven it originally (I've forgotten - I have some early SCSI docs at
home, I think). I forget when I first saw it.
Whoa, Clem! Careful with those quotes, please...
The full text was: "That is also the case with MSCP... Not sure if it
predated SCSI, but for Unix systems, I suspect MSCP came before SCSI. "
In short - I said I don't know which of MSCP and SCSI was first, but I
believe that for *Unix* systems, MSCP was seen first, based on the fact
that Unix was running on DEC systems, which had MSCP before SCSI.
