    Eddy, et.al.
    Initiators can not originate a ping with data.  But it can echo a ping with
    ^^^^^^^^^^
    Targets ??
    data.  That is, it can reflect back to the initiator, via a NOP-In, the
    data that was sent to it within a NOP-Out from the initiator.  However, the
    target may not originate a ping via a NOP-In and include Data.
    
    This was done, if I remember the history correctly, because initiators are
    never prepared to accept unsolicited data of any kind.  They always solicit
    data if they are to receive it.  Hence, an unsolicited NOP-In with data,
    seemed to some to be problematical, and that capability was removed.
