Sounds like a good way to get this running quickly. I guess once it's
working any performance issues can be looked at (I'm not sure if there are
any). I assume that the low level requests will be handled as message
requests from the SCSI server? It would be nice if this were the case as
someone could write a server for say a Sony or Panasonic IDE CD-ROM (as used
on lots of sound cards) and it could take the same requests.
