Julian & All,

2 more issues :

1) If the DataSegmentLength in the BHS excludes padding bytes, how does
the initiator determine the location of the data digest [which is placed
after the padded data] ?
There is no knowledge of what amount of padding is in use, since padding
can be 4 bytes or a multiple of that quantity.

2) While on the subject of digests.....are'nt there supposed to be
login keys to indicate the use or non-use of header and data digests ? I
can't seem to find any such login keys in the latest revs
5.91....5.92....6.000...(?)

(Section 2.2.1 states :
"The digest types are negotiated during the login phase. ").
