Hi,
the sbp2 driver currently sets the host template's "emulated" flag to 1.
This is not true for the driver or protocol though.
Of course almost all available SBP-2 devices contain bridges to PATA or
SATA; therefore they "emulate SCSI" i.e. translate SCSI commands. (But
the sbp2 "host" itself doesn't.)
There are also SBP-2 bridges to SPI but these are rarely used nowadays.
I suppose SBP-2 to SPI bridges are mere bus bridges without command set
translation. I don't know if there are any native SBP-2 devices.
FireWire scanners might be native.
The only driver which evaluates the "emulated" flag is the sg driver but
I don't know for what purposes.
My question: Should sbp2 set "emulated" to 0?
