what other device's sense data looks like. Since my description of the SENSE

from an ECKD reference I have not been able to verify any areas of the data
that are
common across device types. Thoughts?
There's SA22-7204-01 ("Common I/O Device Commands"), which is from 1992
(this is what I have on my disk -- is there anything newer?). It
specifies what bits 0-5 of byte 0 mean and states that bytes 1-31 are
optional and device-specific.
Maybe some other bits have been specified after 1992, but I have not
come across documentation for them.
That publication is no longer available. According to my quick research it has
been
replaced by an internal only publication. I'll see what I can find.
The publication no longer being available is not good, as it is a
normative reference pointed to by the virtio standard (see
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/cs04/virtio-v1.0-cs04.html#x1-30001)
:(
Is there any chance that at least that old version can be made
available again?
