USB --> SCSI

In my experience - which is, admittedly, limited - SCSI (well, parallel SCSI; I don't really consider SAS SCSI, even though it has a very similar command set) is almost completely compatible. The "almost" is differential - what is in retrospect called high-voltage differential, that is, as opposed to LVD (low-voltage differential). Except for HVD, my experience has been that you can pretty much plug anything into anything, with adapters as necessary, and (with some termination caveats) it'll Just Work. Often everything gets slowed down to the speed of the slowest device on the bus, but it still _works_. I'm sure there are exceptions; I don't for a moment think I've met up with every variation SCSI has. But part of the point of this note is to provoke those familiar with them to mention them. :-) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
