There's a generic framework for implementing SCSI targets on SCSI/FC

Now, it's meant to let you export "LUNS" over SCSI or FC, so you could
implement a software raid controller on a Linux box, but you could use
it to do whatever you wanted, with enough extra programming. :)

I've got a feeling there's not even the code there for it Linux - it
just doesn't know how to handle commands sent to the HBA at all. Few

Which reminds me of a comment I saw somewhere about the
possibility of having a SCSI bus with more than one host adapter
on it. Is that even possible?
Possible, and has been done fairly often in storage arrays.
Google "multi-initiator scsi" and rock on. :)
