sasi? probably not
scsi? probably - maybe...

With respect to Floppy Disks, I have in front of me:
			American National Standard
				Interfaces Between
			Flexible Disk Cartridge Drives
				and Their Host Controllers

			ANSI X3.80-1981

In spite of the not so recent date, the copy was recently acquired from ansi:

			american national standards institute, inc.
			1430 broadway, new york, new york 10018

Quite likely there [is/will be] a Winnie standard (scsi=scuzzy), either
published by these folks, or in the works at the committee level.  I can
recommend an independent standards distributor:

		National Standards & Specifications
		5161 River Road
		Bethesda, MD 20816
		Tel: 800-638-8094 except in MD, where it is 301-951-1310
		Ask for Beverly Hicks, ext. 437
