I thought that the NCR and the AIC7770 drivers and their relatives
supported target mode?

We need a "capability word" with bits for read remainder and target mode
and tagged command queueing, etc. that can be accessed independent of
the underlying interface.

Then we need to roll "ncrcontrol" in with everything else for one tool
to do status reporting, etc.

Gatorbox had a SCSI ethernet interface, I thought, for older Apple
hardware.
