Your right of course, even though you logically adress each individual
disk, which was what the question originally was about. :)
For me, the CPU on the SSA ''merly'' translates (and caches) from FDX-FC-AL
to 6xWide SCSI channels. :)
Of cource since you wrote the driver you know exactly whats going on,
I just use the thingie under solaris :)
