<EM>&gt; &gt; Well it was a miracle it worked in the first place!
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; 1) Linux thinks it is the only initiator on a SCSI bus
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; 2) W95 + W98 most likely make the same assumption
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; 3) The SCSI scanners I've played with have particularly
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; bad target implementations prone to lock up at the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; first sign of an irregularity.

<EM>&gt; Yes and no (to 1 and 2). Nothing in SCSI necessarily precludes
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; you from having several initiators on the same bus, provided
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that that the ID and termination rules are obeyed. Wether the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; firmware on the target can handle this situation is an entirely
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; different issue.
</EM><BR>
<P>Agreed. And to ensure conflict-free access to a device, the SCSI
<BR>
commands &quot;Reserve Unit&quot; and &quot;Release Unit&quot; can be used, if they are
<BR>
supported. (Ok, I must admit that I'm writing &quot;pure theoy&quot; -- I didn't
<BR>
use them in the Sharp backend...)
