Actually, I forgot to mention that there are two more target drivers available for download as well. One of them can be especially interested for you, because it should work with SAS (I have a report with coming CDBs from this transport, but have no hardware to check). - Target driver for InfiniBand SRP http://scst.sourceforge.net/target_srp.html - Target driver for LSI/MPT cards http://scst.sourceforge.net/target_lsi.html. This driver was developed for parallel SCSI, but also should work with SAS and Fibre Channel transports. They can be downloaded from the SCST SVN by using command: $ svn co https://scst.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scst They were not released as a separate packages, because their authors preferred that.
