5.3.1.   COMMAND COMPLETE (00h)  
This message is sent from a target to an initiator to indicate that the execution of a command or a series of linked 
commands has completed and valid status has been sent to the initiator. After successfully sending this message, 
the target goes to the BUS FREE phase by releasing BSY. 
When received as a target, it will be handled as an illegal message, the unit will return MESSAGE REJECT and will 
enter the status phase reporting CHECK CONDITION with the sense key set to COMMAND ABORTED. 
5.3.2.  EXTENDED MESSAGE (01h)  
5.3.2.1.  PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST (04h) 
PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST messages are used to negotiate a synchronous data transfer agreement, a 
wide data transfer agreement, and set the protocol options between two SCSI devices. Negotiations using this 
message shall only be initiated by initiators. A Parallel Protocol Request message has the following format:

TRANSFER PERIOD FACTOR FIELD 
Code Description 
09h 
Transfer period equals 12.5 ns (Fast-80 data is latched every 12.5 ns). This code is only 
valid if the protocol options field has a value selected that supports double transition data 
transfer (DT_REQ is one) 
0Ah 
Transfer period equals 25 ns (Fast-40 data is latched every 25 ns or 30.3 ns).  
0Bh 
Transfer period equals 30.3 ns (Fast-40 data is latched every 25 ns or 30.3 ns). 
0Ch 
Transfer period equals 50 ns (Fast-20). 
0Dh-18h 
Transfer period equals the period factor x 4 (Fast-20). 
19h-31h 
Transfer period equals the period factor x 4 (Fast-10). 
32h-FFh 
Transfer period equals the period factor x 4 
For single transition (ST) synchronous data transfer the REQ/ACK OFFSET is the maximum number of REQ 
assertions allowed to be outstanding before a corresponding ACK assertion is received at the target. The size of a 
data transfer may be 1 or 2 bytes depending on the values in the transfer width exponent field. 
For double transition (DT) synchronous data transfer the REQ/ACK OFFSET is the maximum number of REQ 
transitions allowed to be outstanding before a corresponding ACK transition is received at the target. The size of a 
data transfer shall be 2 bytes.
