I know there is no support as of this time > in FreeBSD, but was curious if anybody is working in this area. Yes, I am. I've been doing a converter for SCSI to UFI in order to support USB floppies. A next thing will be to support ATAPI devices under CAM through USB (SuperDisk by Imation and other Shuttle E-USB based products). The reason why I am not using the code in dev/ata is that it is very much ATA centric with no good distinction between the controller control and the command protocol. It is IMHO easier to mangle SCSI into ATAPI compliancy. This question is however more appropriate for -scsi or -hackers (CC:-ed, -questions BCC:-ed).
