GKDRIVER question:

SCSI is bigendian, VAXen are little endian, I assume that the GKDRIVER simply
takes the commands and arguments given it and transmits them blindly (after
all, it IS a pass through driver).  Which should mean that when I write SCSI
commands, I have to worry about swapping bytes in portions of the commands that
take words, etc.

Is this assumption correct?
