I forgot to mention the template model on each side of the iSCSI protocol
state machine we have developed is agnostic?

Initiator --- Transport --- Target --- Spindle

		TCP			SCSI
		Quads			ATA
		SCI			SATA
		Myrinet			MD
		InfiniBand		LVM
		TELCO			USB
		CARRIER			1394
					SAS
					Fibre Channel

					FLOPPY, for emergencies.

Yeah, I am nutter than a fruitcake, but it works!

This is for Larry McVoy, it is the closest thing you will ever see today
which looks like a disk with an RJ-45 port.
