I read about it in scsi faq (comp.perepherials.scsi?) that this must be
supported by the OSs that share the scsi chain, also only one Computer
should reset the SCSI bus on startup...
I have heard that Apples does this
I have not tried with it & and I don't know nobody who uses it with
standard computers...
regards,
Ulisses
