Termination Status Analysis and Error Recovery Methods
Fig. 4.3 shows a model of the INIT's general processing flow from issuing of the command
until reception of the termination status. In the figure, a "BUS FREE Error" is the case where
the SCSI bus entered the BUS FREE phase at a point not intended by the INIT (at a point
when entering the BUS FREE phase was not permitted by the SCSI bus protocol
specification), and normally, it is an error detected by the host system's (INIT's) SCSI
controller's hardware or firmware.
