DSP> Command                         Description
DSP> -------            -------------------------------------
DSP>  /win              Invoke a Window-like User Interface.
DSP>  /load  /...       Update a device with new code.
DSP>  /mode  /...       Mode Page Editor.

DSP>  /start /...       Send a SCSI Start to the device.
DSP>  /stop  /...       Send a SCSI Stop to the device.
DSP>  /tur   /...       Send a SCSI Test Unit Ready to the device.
DSP>  /for   /...       Send a SCSI Format Immediate to the device.
DSP>  /dfc   /...       Read device's Defects data.
DSP>  /reset /...       Reset the device through the adapter.
DSP>  /def   /...       Display/change the SCSI operating definition.
DSP>  /help             Display this help message.
DSP>  /help  /<command> Display specific help for one of the valid commands.

DSP>                    Note: '/...' indicates more parameters

DSP>                    ex. To display help for the code loader type :
DSP>
DSP>                        dsp /help /load
DSP>


DSP> P:\DISKTOOLS\DSPTOOLS\DSP.EXE /help /load
DSP>
DSP> The /LOAD command will update a device with new code. A binary code
DSP> file is required as a parameter. If no path information is specified
DSP> for the file (ie. just a file name), then the current directory is
DSP> used to search for the file. If the code file resides in a location
DSP> other than the current directory, the full path name must be specified
DSP> (see 2nd SYNTAX example). The device number must also be specified as
DSP> a parameter. This is the SCSI identification number of the device to
DSP> be loaded. The host adapter number (not its SCSI ID) can be specified
DSP> for systems with more than one host adapter installed. The default is
DSP> host adapter zero if no parameter is specified. The CHECK parameter is
DSP> optional and determines whether the device type (ex. DSP3210, RZ28, etc)
DSP> will be verified with the code being loaded. The default is CHECK=YES.
DSP> This checks device type with code type and in the case of a mismatch,
DSP> does not perform the load. By specifying CHECK=NO, the user OVERRIDES
DSP> this check. BEWARE, its possible to create a brick with no checking!
DSP> ***Note:   Add /dtype=esp to load ESP Solid State Drives.
DSP>
DSP> SYNTAX :   dsp /load /file=rz35t384.fup /dev=1 /adapter=0
DSP>            dsp /load /file=c:\\code\\rz35t386.fup /dev=2 /adapter=1
DSP>            dsp /load /file=rz35t384.fup /dev=1 /check=no /dtype=esp


DSP> P:\DISKTOOLS\DSPTOOLS\DSP.EXE /help /mode
DSP>
DSP> The /MODE command is used to read mode page(s) from the device and send
DSP> mode page(s) to the device. The command qualifiers are described below.
DSP>
DSP>   /file    In conjunction with the /cmd qualifier, this is the output file
DSP>            name for /cmd=sense and the input file for /cmd=select. The
DSP>            file contains mode page data in an ASCII readable format.
DSP>   /adapter The Host Adapter number (not its SCSI ID). Default is 0.
DSP>   /dev     The SCSI device ID.
DSP>   /cmd     'sense' is used to read mode page data. 'select' is used to
DSP>            send mode page data to the device.
DSP>   /type    Sense current, saved, default, or changeable values. Select
DSP>            only current or saved mode page values.
DSP>   /page    The mode page specified as a hexadecimal number. A page number
DSP>            of 3F can be used to read all supported mode pages.(SENSE only)
DSP> SYNTAX :
DSP>  dsp /mode /file=pg_out.txt /dev=1 /cmd=sense /type=current /page=a
DSP>  dsp /mode /file=pg_out.txt /dev=1 /cmd=sense /type=saved /page=b
DSP>  dsp /mode /file=pg_out.txt /dev=1 /cmd=sense /type=default /page=3f
DSP>  dsp /mode /file=pg_out.txt /dev=1 /cmd=sense /type=changeable /page=1
DSP>  dsp /mode /file=pg_in.txt /adapter=1 /dev=1 /cmd=select /type=current
DSP>  dsp /mode /file=pg_in.txt /adapter=2 /dev=1 /cmd=select /type=saved


DSP> P:\DISKTOOLS\DSPTOOLS\DSP.EXE /help /for
DSP>
DSP>
DSP> The /FORMAT command sends a SCSI Format Immediate to the device. 
DSP> The user selects the Host Adapter (the default is Host 0). 
DSP> A valid SCSI device number must be specified.
DSP>
DSP> SYNTAX :   dsp /format /dev=1
DSP> SYNTAX :   dsp /format /adapter=1 /dev=2 
DSP>


DSP> P:\DISKTOOLS\DSPTOOLS\DSP.EXE /help /sniff
DSP>
DSP>
DSP> The /SNIFF command interrogates the bus to identify which devices are
DSP> present. Information gathered from each device is displayed to the user.
DSP> The user selects which Host Adapter to sniff (the default is Host 0).
DSP>
DSP> SYNTAX :   dsp /sniff
DSP> SYNTAX :   dsp /sniff /adapter=1
