We should have a speedup.
But an improvement can also be to interface a _real_ SCSI disk and send directly 
to it the SCSI commands generated by the _virtual_ SCSI interface (as it is done 
in BasiliskII emulator)

To be able to boot from a SCSI disk we need a BIOS extension managing the SCSI 
card and allowing the BIOS to load the boot sector from the SCSI disk.
