You must implement all of the commands that are mandatory for that
particular device class, according to the ANSI spec.
You should also assume that you can't assume that application software
would send invalid CDBs. As the ANSI spec is very specific on what
sense info gets returned for various types of invalid CDBs, you have
to make sure you process them correctly. The storage device should
already report the proper sense info if it receives munged or invalid
commands, so just pass them through.
If your device type (disk, tape, cd, controller, etc...) is the same
as one that is already supported by the O/S, then you would also have
to write code to prevent the O/S from loading the built-in driver.
