Hasn't someone somewhere created an iSCSI stack that would let 
an old PC run Linux and use an old SCSI card (of appropriate
interface) to talk to old hardware, but speak to the 
new PC and new software over the network?

Is the end-goal running 'mt' and 'tar' within Cygwin under Windows?

If the goal requires talking to the Windows machine's filesystem,
aren't there lots of ways to solve that from an old Linux machine?

This topic was covered in July 2014 and December 2012 if you 
check the archives.
