Understood. I found another location where all the documents seem to be
available:
http://www.csit-sun.pub.ro/~cpop/Documentatie_SMP/Standarde_magistrale/SCSI/

However, the PDF file from
https://web.archive.org/web/20080828112749/http://t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/cam/cam-r12b.pdf
fails to load at a 130810 byte limit. Other people have reported a
similar file size issue in the past.

So, should we only that the cam-r12b document can be found from
http://www.t10.org/t10docs.htm (registration required)?, and tell that a
copy can be found on
http://www.csit-sun.pub.ro/~cpop/Documentatie_SMP/Standarde_magistrale/SCSI/?

I'm trying to fix broken links in kernel documentation, which I publish
on http://free-electrons.com/kerneldoc/ . I have a broken link checker
for the http://free-electrons.com/ website, and it finds all the broken
links on http://free-electrons.com/kerneldoc/ . That's a good thing,
isn't need, but it means I have to get rid of the broken links :)

Thanks again for your help,

Cheers,

Michael.
