Problem
Solutions: Flexible Architecture Standard System Technology (FASST): Introduced in 1988 by Western Digital and Columbia Data Products, FASST is a software specification that allows developers to easily interface their hardware devices to a SCSI interface and to operate those peripherals under a number of operating systems. FASST implements a SDLP interface and its software handles the handshaking between the peripheral and the attached SCSI adapter. Thus, a peripheral can be developed that makes system calls to the FASST software, which in turn handles interfacing to the board. This approach solves two problems: It allows a user to upgrade from an 8-bit to a 16-bit SCSI adapter without worrying about incompatibilities. It also allows devices attached to the SCSI adapter to be run under DOS, UNIX, Windows, NetWare, and OS/2. |
