fer agreement shall remain intact;
b. If a WDTR message fails for any other reason, the prior synchronous data transfer agreement shall 
remain intact; or
c. If a WDTR message is not rejected with a MESSAGE REJECT message, a WDTR message shall reset 
the synchronous data transfer agreement to asynchronous mode and any protocol option bits (see Sec-
tion 4.3.16) shall be set to zero.
The originating SCSI device (the SCSI device that sends the first of the pair of WDTR messages) sets its trans-
fer width value to the maximum data path width it elects to accommodate. If the responding SCSI device is able 
to also accommodate this transfer width, it returns the same value in its WDTR message. If it requires a 
smaller transfer width, it substitutes the smaller value in its WDTR message. The successful completion of an 
exchange of WDTR messages implies an agreement as shown in Table 39.
Table 39:
WDTR message implied agreement
If there is an unrecoverable parity error on the initial WDTR message (see sections 3.9.2 and 3.9.3) the initiat-
ing SCSI device shall retain its previous data transfer mode. If there is an unexpected bus free on the initial 
WDTR message the initiating SCSI device shall retain its previous data transfer mode.
4.3.18.1
Target initiated WDTR negotiation
If the target recognizes that WDTR negotiation is required, it sends a WDTR message to the initiator.
The initiator shall create an attention condition on the last byte of the WDTR message from the target, and the 
initiator shall respond with its WDTR message, MESSAGE PARITY ERROR message, or with a MESSAGE 
REJECT message.
If an abnormal condition prevents the initiator from responding with a WDTR message or with a MESSAGE 
REJECT message, then both SCSI devices shall go to eight-bit data transfer mode for data transfers between 
the two SCSI devices.
Following an initiator's responding WDTR message, an implied agreement for wide data transfers operation 
shall not be considered to exist until the target leaves the MESSAGE OUT phase, indicating that the target has 
accepted the negotiation.
If the target does not support the initiator’s responding Transfer Width Exponent,
 
the target shall switch to a 
Message In phase and the first message shall be a MESSAGE REJECT message. In this case, the implied 
agreement shall be considered to be negated and both SCSI devices shall use the eight-bit data transfer mode 
for data transfers between the two SCSI devices. Any prior synchronous data transfer agreement shall remain 
intact.
If a parity error occurs, the implied agreement shall be reinstated if a retransmission of a subsequent pair of 
messages is successfully accomplished. After a device-dependent number of retry attempts (greater than 
zero), if the target continues to receive parity errors, it shall terminate the retry activity. This is done by the tar-
