Version 1.0. So scsiinfo is now over ten years old **. The latest scsiinfo version that I have found is 1.7 with the most recent patches by Michael Weller from August 1997. Scsiinfo is still useful with modern SCSI disks but lacks support for recently added mode pages and enhancements to existing mode pages. So when I finish with sginfo's upgrade I might make some addressing modifications and then release it as scsiinfo 2.0 if Eric has no objections. ** I guess that date is using the US convention and is the day after halloween ... so my post is a few days late.
