Control Byte
The control byte is the last byte of every Command Descriptor Block and has the
following structure:
■ Vendor Specific
Provides additional information about the device or for a command.
■ NACA
The normal auto contingent allegiance bit controls the rules for handling an auto
contingent condition caused by a command. This bit is set to 0 to indicate that if
a contingent allegiance condition occurs, the command will return a check
condition.
■ Flag (not supported)
This bit causes an interrupt in the initiator allowing a device to respond with
intermediate status. This bit is not supported and should be 0.
■ Link (not supported)
Allows devices that support command linking to continue the I/O process. This
bit is not supported and should be 0.
