	At least a couple of other programming interfaces for SCSI device drivers competed with ASPI in the early 1990s, including CAM (Common Access Method), developed by Apple; and Layered Device Driver Architecture, developed by [[Microsoft]]. However, ASPI was far and away more common than any of its competitors in this space, with ''PC Magazine'' declaring it a ''de facto'' standard for developing SCSI device drivers only two years after its introduction.<ref>{{cite journal \| last=Thomas \| first=Susan G. \| date=April 28, 1992 \| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HERlo0BgpGYC&pg=PT32 \| title=SCSI Protocol Wars: ASPI, CAM, LADDR \| work=PC Magazine \| publisher=Ziff-Davis \| volume=11 \| issue=8 \| page=31 \| via=Google Books}}</ref>		At least a couple of other programming interfaces for SCSI device drivers competed with ASPI in the early 1990s, including CAM (Common Access Method), developed by Apple; and Layered Device Driver Architecture, developed by [[Microsoft]].
