James,

You may be right.  I have not fully dissected the Linux SCSI stack.  I
am very intimately familiar with the Darwin SCSI stack as well as the
Windose stacks (I had to fully architect USB 2.0 stack with support for
SBP-2 under SE, ME and 2k, [I feel so dirty]).

The Linux stack may be more forward looking.
