<!--StartFragment-->3.2.5.  Expected Data Transfer Length

     The Expected Data Transfer Length field states the number of bytes
     of data that the initiator expects will be sent for this (READ or
     WRITE) SCSI operation in SCSI Data packets.  For a WRITE operation,
     the initiator uses this field to specify the number of bytes of
     data it expects to transfer for this operation (not counting data
     headers).  For a READ operation, the initiator uses this field to
     specify the number of bytes of data it expects the target to
     transfer to the initiator (not counting data headers).  If no data
     will be transferred in SCSI Data packets or Immediate data for this
     SCSI operation, this field should be set to 0.
<!--EndFragment-->

The first sentence and last sentence are mutually confusing. I think the
Exepcted Data Transfer Length field should
states the number of bytes to be sent in SCSI Data packets *or immediate
data*.
