Mass Storage Devices using the SCSI command set
Currently this is the only subclass supported by RISC OS 5 for mass storage devices. It is by far the most popular one as it's also natively supported by the Apple Mac. The following protocols are supported:
Icon Class Description RISC OS Info
8_6_0 Control/Bulk/Interrupt protocol (with command completion) Standard -
8_6_1 Control/Bulk/Interrupt protocol (without command completion) Standard -
8_6_80 Bulk-only transport Standard -
Supported devices - Warning
Before purchasing a Mass Storage Device it is advised to always check the device under RISC OS first. Even if the device reports one of the supported classes (8_6_0, 8_6_1 or 8_6_80) it is not guaranteed to work. Class 8_6_x indicates that the device should support the SCSI protocol. However, some manufacturers have wrongly specified their device to be SCSI compatible, whilst in reality it speaks a different language. Such devices are unlikely to work properly under RISC OS.

Devices not yet supported (or only partially supported)
Some devices may not work correctly under RISC OS 5 at present although they report themselves as a Mass Storage SCSI Device. In some cases this is caused by the fact that the capacity is too large for the DOS FAT16 filing system. Such problems may be solved in due course as and when support for FAT32 becomes available or when a suitable RISC OS formatter is released.

We need your help
In order to keep the list above up to date, it is important that you report any new devices to us. Even if the device is currently not supported by the USB software, it is important that we know of any new devices, so that we can update our databases. When reporting a device, it is important to tell us the full class name (e.g. 8_6_80), the Vendor ID, the Product ID and a brief description of the product. Please mark clearly if the device is currently being supported by the software.
