Does anyone have an electronic copy of the SCSI-1 spec
(scans or
OCR)? [...]
I suspect the latest SCSI spec *is* around as a PDF,
but 90% of it's
likely not relevant to dealing with vintage SCSI devices! :-)
Failing that, I suspect that some device manuals (such
as disk/tape
bridge boards) might have useful SCSI documentation within - so
recommendations welcome!
Well, it's not quite what you asked for, but I do have a disk-drive
manual from Seagate that looks like a fairly decent SCSI spec for those
aspects implemented by the drives it covers.
It does cover things like arbitration. It looks to me as though a good
computer electronics tech should be able to build a SCSI interface
sufficient to talk to the drives using just this manual - though I
haven't actually tried it, so there may be something I'm missing.

afraid it's a PDF, but that's what I've got).
