Information Technology - Automation/Drive Interface - Transport Protocol - 3 (ADT-3)
This standard defines the protocol requirements of the Automation/Drive Interface - Transport Protocol to allow conforming ADI SCSI devices to inter-operate. The objectives of ADT-3 are: (a) to provide a low cost interconnect method between an automation device and the data transfer devices that reside within the media changer (see SMC-3). To standardize this interface such that different disk drives, tape drives, optical media drives, and other SCSI devices may be added to conforming media changers without requiring modifications to generic system hardware; and (b) to provide for the addition of special features and functions through the use of vendor-specific options, reserved areas are provided for future standardization.
