Certain SCSI adapters like the Adaptec AHA 29160 are reportedly capable of
acting as a target and can receive SCSI commands from initiators. Such an
adapter can be used to facilitate remote SCSI emulation by a PC.
For instance, if two PCs have the adapter, the two adapters can be
directly connected by a SCSI bus and the second PC can in effect serve as
an "emulated SCSI disk". Such a setup is extremely helpful in various
scenarios.


Search the archives/Web for "SCSI target", "LinuxDisk", etc. There are
plenty of half-finished implementations of this.


Another, more generic, solution is "ip over scsi":
