-      <title>Protocol vs bus</title>
-      <para>
-        Once upon a time, the Small Computer Systems Interface defined both
-        a parallel I/O bus and a data protocol to connect a wide variety of
-        peripherals (disk drives, tape drives, modems, printers, scanners,
-        optical drives, test equipment, and medical devices) to a host
-        computer.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        Although the old parallel (fast/wide/ultra) SCSI bus has largely
-        fallen out of use, the SCSI command set is more widely used than ever
-        to communicate with devices over a number of different busses.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        The <ulink url='http://www.t10.org/scsi-3.htm'>SCSI protocol</ulink>
-        is a big-endian peer-to-peer packet based protocol.  SCSI commands
-        are 6, 10, 12, or 16 bytes long, often followed by an associated data
-        payload.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        SCSI commands can be transported over just about any kind of bus, and
-        are the default protocol for storage devices attached to USB, SATA,
-        SAS, Fibre Channel, FireWire, and ATAPI devices.  SCSI packets are
-        also commonly exchanged over Infiniband,
-        <ulink url='http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/faq.php'>I20</ulink>, TCP/IP
-        (<ulink url='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI'>iSCSI</ulink>), even

-      <title>Design of the Linux SCSI subsystem</title>
-      <para>
-        The SCSI subsystem uses a three layer design, with upper, mid, and low
-        layers.  Every operation involving the SCSI subsystem (such as reading
-        a sector from a disk) uses one driver at each of the 3 levels: one
-        upper layer driver, one lower layer driver, and the SCSI midlayer.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        The SCSI upper layer provides the interface between userspace and the
-        kernel, in the form of block and char device nodes for I/O and
-        ioctl().  The SCSI lower layer contains drivers for specific hardware
-        devices.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        In between is the SCSI mid-layer, analogous to a network routing
-        layer such as the IPv4 stack.  The SCSI mid-layer routes a packet
-        based data protocol between the upper layer's /dev nodes and the
-        corresponding devices in the lower layer.  It manages command queues,
-        provides error handling and power management functions, and responds
-        to ioctl() requests.
