thanks a lot for the clarification.
i have a better idea now about the criteria of 
prior art. but isn't it strange that the patent was granted
anyhow?

i have another quick question. for a local area application, 
why hasn't anyone done scsi over ethernet? (ie encapsulating 
scsi commands into the ethernet package). why use a higher 
level protocol and work with all the latency and overhead problem?

any insight?
