    sorry for the XBox HUUGE link, our digital masters deem it so.

    About 5 years ago, I read a post on a photography group, the OP was
    doing image processing and used SCSI to pass the file? dunno, but he
    wrote code to use the SCSI bus as a network? file transfer?. IIRC, it
    involved Kodak (cameras? codecs? warp drive?), at least one 8580, and
    of course, IBM MCA SCSI. Copied Tim, and moved on.

    Yes, that's what it's used for, but normally, you talk to a local
    device (be it internal or external).

    I don't know how the host-host communication and device emulation
    are handled. I'd have to read the patent(s) and identify the related
    code in the SCSI BIOS (there are still some unknown and rather
    confusing parts...). But the implementation is almost certainly
    limited to IBM SCSI hosts and disk-related operations. Custom
    software would be needed for general system-system communication.
