Oh
no!! Beat him senseless!
He had a 9mm pistol on his hand, I don't think it would be smart :(

There is no
strange formatting, in the way that we normally think of
"formatting". It is not possible to reach those levels of a SCSI
device, so there are no incompatibilities. The host says "give me
block number 5324985", and sometime later, the target hard drive says
"hey host, here's the data for block number 5324985 that you asked
for". Zero format compatibility issues.
This is **VERY** interesting. I think I'll buy a zip drive tomorrow and
one or two zip disks and begin to read/write things to see how it works.
So bad I'll stay "grounded" for about 2 to 3 months before my new lab
gets ready :(
I'll do something even on kitchen table :D
If memory serves, you are an AVR guy. You can easily bit-bang the
SCSI protocol from a microcontroller. I think there are people here who
have done it. I've looked at it and it doesn't seem like it'd be
terribly difficult.
