Collaborative Identification of SCSI Command 0x0d as ECC Burst Error Correction
By

If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
A wiki logbook entry documenting the collaborative discovery of the meaning behind SCSI command 0x0d. The entry describes how Søren Roug identified the command in a Xebec S1410 disk controller manual as returning the length of burst errors corrected with ECC, matching the CMD_CORRECTION label found by Tollef Fog Heen in a NeXT Station emulation GitHub repository. The log also notes the NeXT Station had a Magneto-Optical drive.
