Hi,
I'm working with a USB mass storage device that accepts SCSI commands,
and I'm trying to understand what this device supports. Are there any
software tools that query a device with a user supplied SCSI command
(eg INQUIRY) and is able to display the response data structure? I'm
not even sure if the device supports SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 or what.

What host platform and what o/s do you intend to use? Being USB
is a complication. I have some favorite DOS and Unix tools that
I use to generate custom commands and observe responses but
these work only with HBAs for which there are drivers or
direct hardware support.

Hi,
I'm working on Windows XP. Actually after some googling I've managed
to find a tool called sg3_utils that supports quite a few OSes. I've
tried it on a generic flash drive and it seems to work. However, if
you have other suggestions I would like to hear about them too. Thanks!

Thanks! That's a great tool, but it doesn't seem to recognize my USB
mass storage devices, only my fixed HDDs, optical drives and virtual
drives.

If it doesn't recognize your USB device, it's not advertising itself as a
SCSI device. Therefore, it does not support SCSI.

That's weird though, because with the sg3_utils toolset I'm able to
send various SCSI commands to the USB device. USB mass storage devices
actually use the SCSI command set.

But it's a different operating system, therefore, differences in
implementation are expected.

Many SCSI utils use the obsolete and broken ASPI interface,
and cannot see USB devices. SPTI works with USB.
SCSI CDB response data structure 
Linear Mode
