I have a win32 program to update the firmware on a specific SCSI
device. I assume, it uses the "Write Buffer 0x3B" command but I
don't know the exact parameters. I want to include this device
in my SCSI firmware update tool which runs under FreeBSD and
already supports some devices.

Maybe one of the SCSI specialists (Justin, Ken, ...) has an idea
if the following scenario could work:

I use a standard winblows box with an 29160 Controller to update
the device in question. To the SCSI same cable I attach another
machine running FreeBSD. Is it possible to make the FreeBSD box
watch and report the traffic on the SCSI bus? Will there be
any problems since I now have two initiators attached to the
same bus? I assume, I have to use CAM_DEBUG in my kernel to 
see anything at all...

Thanks,

	-Andre
