There are some other similar interfaces in use in the un*x world, but
not available for Linux:
- CAM (Common Access Method) developed by Future Domain and other
SCSI vendors. This was a response to the ASPI interface. Linux has some
support for a SCSI CAM system (mainly for booting from hard disk).
CAM even supports target mode, so one could disguise ones computer
as a peripheral hardware device (e.g. for a small SCSI net).
- ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) developed by Adaptec.
This is the de facto standard for MS-DOS machines.
There are other application interfaces from SCO(TM), NeXT(TM), Silicon
Graphics(TM) and SUN(TM) as well.
