Imagine for a moment, if you will, the following:
1.  The target signals a 'data in' phase.
2.  The initiator detects a parity error in the data, and asserts ATN.
3.  The target notices that ATN is asserted, and signals a 'message out' phase.
4.  The initiator sends an 'initiator detected error' message.
5.  The target detects a parity error in the message.

What's the poor target to do?  I can't find anything in the SCSI-1 spec that
addresses this situation.  Perhaps the SCSI-2 spec does address this situation?
