Virtual CloneDrive Revision History Virtual CloneDrive 5.5.2.0: 2020 02 27 - Fix: Bug introduced in 5.5.1.0, ElbyCDIO did not work with Windows Server OS, Windows XP, Windows Vista - Some minor changes and improvements Virtual CloneDrive 5.5.1.0: 2020 02 24 - New: ElbyCDIO driver update - New: Slightly reduced CPU load on Windows 8 or better - Fix: Some UDF images could crash VCDmount - Change. Ture/feature overview and elaborate on the dm-raid architecture and how it uses the device-mapper features to enable access to ATARAID devices. 1 ATARAID Various vendors (e.g. Highpoint, Silicon Im-age) ship ATARAID products to deploy Soft-ware RAID (Redundant Array Of Inexpensive Disks) on desktop and low-end server system. Original scsi.device IDE drivers works well with both fixed and removable type CF cards. The Amiga PCMCIA driver compactflash.device also works with both types of cards. Some CF cards do not work with compactflash.device, but this is for other reasons. IDE drivers confirmed NOT working with removable type CF cards: IDEfix (Elaborate Bytes). I 11:54:12 ELBYCDIO.DLL - Elaborate Bytes CDRTools - ElbyCDIO DLL - Version 6.1.1.0. I 11:54:12 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices. I 11:54:12 - Drive 1 - Info.
Starting with Windows 10, Version 2004 (OS build 19041.488 or higher), two additional identifiers are available for NVMe storage disk drives which support the STOR_RICH_DEVICE_DESCRIPTION structure:
SCSIt*v(8)p(40)
Where:
t* is a device type code of variable length
v(8) is an 8-character vendor identifier
p(40) is a 40-character product identifier
SCSIt*v(8)p(40)r(8)

Where:
t* is a device type code of variable length
v(8) is an 8-character vendor identifier
p(40) is a 40-character product identifier
r(8) is an 8-character revision level value
In versions of Windows prior to Windows 10, Version 2004 (OS build 19041.488 or higher), the device ID format for a small computer system interface (SCSI) device is as follows:
SCSIt*v(8)p(16)r(4)
Where:
t* is a device type code of variable length
v(8) is an 8-character vendor identifier
p(16) is a 16-character product identifier
r(4) is a 4-character revision level value
The bus enumerator determines the device type by indexing an internal string table, using a numerically encoded SCSI device type code, obtained by querying the device, as shown in the following table. The remaining components are just strings returned by the device, but with special characters (including space, comma, and any nonprinting graphic) replaced with an underscore.
The SCSI Port driver currently returns the following device type strings, the first nine of which correspond to standard SCSI type codes.
| SCSI type code | Device type | Generic type | Peripheral ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIRECT_ACCESS_DEVICE (0) | Disk | GenDisk | DiskPeripheral |
| SEQUENTIAL_ACCESS_DEVICE (1) | Sequential | TapePeripheral | |
| PRINTER_DEVICE (2) | Printer | GenPrinter | PrinterPeripheral |
| PROCESSOR_DEVICE (3) | Processor | OtherPeripheral | |
| WRITE_ONCE_READ_MULTIPLE_DEVICE (4) | Worm | GenWorm | WormPeripheral |
| READ_ONLY_DIRECT_ACCESS_DEVICE (5) | CdRom | GenCdRom | CdRomPeripheral |
| SCANNER_DEVICE (6) | Scanner | GenScanner | ScannerPeripheral |
| OPTICAL_DEVICE (7) | Optical | GenOptical | OpticalDiskPeripheral |
| MEDIUM_CHANGER (8) | Changer | ScsiChanger | MediumChangerPeripheral |
| COMMUNICATION_DEVICE (9) | Net | ScsiNet | CommunicationsPeripheral |
| 10 | ASCIT8 | ScsiASCIT8 | ASCPrePressGraphicsPeripheral |
| 11 | ASCIT8 | ScsiASCIT8 | ASCPrePressGraphicsPeripheral |
| 12 | Array | ScsiArray | ArrayPeripheral |
| 13 | Enclosure | ScsiEnclosure | EnclosurePeripheral |
| 14 | RBC | ScsiRBC | RBCPeripheral |
| 15 | CardReader | ScsiCardReader | CardReaderPeripheral |
| 16 | Bridge | ScsiBridge | BridgePeripheral |
| 17 | Other | ScsiOther | OtherPeripheral |
An example of a device ID for a disk drive would be as follows:
SCSIDiskSEAGATE_ST39102LW_______0004
There are four hardware IDs in addition to the device ID:
SCSIt*v(8)p(16)
SCSIt*v(8)
SCSIv(8)p(16)r(1)
V(8)p(16)r(1)
In the third and fourth of these additional identifiers, r(1) represents just the first character of the revision identifier. These hardware IDs are illustrated by the following examples:
SCSIDiskSEAGATE_ST39102LW_______
SCSIDiskSEAGATE_
SCSIDiskSEAGATE_ST39102LW_______0
SEAGATE_ST39102LW_______0
Scsi Disk Device Vs Ssd
The SCSI Port driver supplies only one compatible ID, one of the variable-sized generic type codes from the previous table.
Scsi Device Driver
For example, the compatible ID for a disk drive is as follows:
GenDisk
The generic identifier is used in INF files for SCSI devices more than any other, because SCSI drivers are typically generic.
Elaborate Bytes Scsi To Usb
Be aware that the SCSI Port driver returns no generic name for sequential access and 'processor' devices.
