For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
SCSI and TCL

Posted by solomon (solomon), 23 September 2003
Hello All,

Does anybody know about SCSI extension to TCL? I need to be able to send low level SCSI commands (like inquery/read10/read16 etc) from TCL.

Any help will be appreciated.

Goodness - what on earth are you doing?   I would tend to look at hooking in some C routines to Tcl and using Tcl as the controlling command language - the sort of thing that Tcl was designed for.   I don't personally know of anyone who's done it with SCSI already though

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the answer.

I try to have a multiplatform tool to test SCSI low level. I do have some "home made" C library that implements such commands and it is hooked with tcl. Two problems with that: 1. The library is not complete and doesn't cover the whole range of commands. 2. Non-portable.
I already have quite a few scripts written on this "hooked" tcl, so if I could find some standard extension, it'd be very helpful.

Thanks,
Solomon.

I would persevre with your C;  sorry - but device drivers are not going to be portable across operating systems.  I know it would be nice if someone had already written complete different suites for each major OS, but if they have I haven't come across it .... but then, I'm a specialist on open source languages and not SCSI
