I have been curious for some time about duplicating a feature of the Mac
Power Book on a linux pc.  The Powerbook can be put in a mode where it
acts as a scsi device which can be plugged into another computer and used
as though it were a scsi hdd.

Does anyone no if this requires special hardware in the scsi controller,
or is any standard controller capable of sending the correct signals
across the scsi bus to make it look to another contoller as though a
non-existant drive exits on the bus?  As in is it possible for any
controller to send signals to another card plugged into a different
computer to make it think there is a scsi device plugged into it that
doesn't really exist?

thanks in advance for any info
