Hello all,

I'm considering taking up the idea of firewire-based SAN as a graduation 
project. As I was looking at T13 (http://www.t13.org) and have found a 
document about firewire-ATA attachment, so I was wondering if anybody out 
there is already working on it as an opensource project (I know commercial 
implementations of this idea exist).

More importantly, I was seeking the insight of the expertise in this mailing 
list regarding the viability of this project and the difficulty (or lack 
thereof) associated with it.

Thanks in advance!
