Some time ago, I added the "SCSI Direct" protocol to my homemade SCSI system.
The only documentation I had to go on was the include file "devices/scsidish.h".
It seemed pretty understandable and my implementation works fine, but I am
not sure if it is really done correctly.

I wrote a simple program to test the implementation.  This program allows you
to interactively issue SCSI commands, transfer data into and out of a
preallocated buffer, execute some "premade" commands, such as for formatting
and parking disks, and so forth.  I use it for all my disk maintenance.

It would be nice if someone with knowledge of SCSI could try this out on a
2091 or a HardFrame.  Also, if anyone has a simple program, which uses the
SCSI direct protocol to perform some generic disk task, such as parking it,
I'd like to try it out on my system.

Could any interested volunteer(s) send mail to me at the address below?  Thanks.
