                                               Hi!


 I´m new to this list, but has been in the IET since the beginning. Where
can I read something about the ideas behind this project? Is the idea to
become a midlevel scsi target driver, that handles ALL the scsi specific
commands, to be used of ANY target driver that uses scsi commands, like Fc
or iScsi? If so, I would give my full support for it.

Mike, can you tell me the details of your design (or commit the
initial code)? I don't get a clear idea of how this part should be
implemented yet.
