-	  This is a host adapter simulator that can simulate multiple hosts
-	  each with multiple dummy SCSI devices (disks). It defaults to one
-	  host adapter with one dummy SCSI disk. Each dummy disk uses kernel

-	  dummy disks are simulated, they share the same kernel RAM for 
-	  their storage. See <http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sdebug26.html> for more
-	  information. This driver is primarily of use to those testing the
-	  SCSI and block subsystems. If unsure, say N.
+	  This pseudo driver simulates one or more hosts (SCSI initiators),
+	  each with one or more targets, each with one or more logical units.
+	  Defaults to one of each, creating a small ram disk device. Many
