Scitex Digital Video (scitexdv.com) used to have a copy of the SCSI-2
Specification (Draft X3T9.2 Rev 10L) online, but it seems to have gone
down.  Altavista says there is a mirror at
http://www.uni-mainz.de/~tacke/scsi/SCSI2.html , and I also made a
mirror, available at http://dan.emsphone.com/scsi/ .

It details all the mode pages, and all the SCSI commands for each
device type.  For example, mode page 0x0A is explained in section
8.3.3.1.

It's accurate enough for me to have written an ANSI tape
reading/writing program in DOS (with code to toggle compression), using
this and Ralf Brown's Interrupt list for the ASPI calls :)
