You should subscribe to the Sun Common SCSI Architecture mailing list.  Send
your subscription request to scsa-request@island.com, submissions to 
scsa@island.com.  There are people there who can answer your questions.
There's even a complete SCSA driver in the archives to control a TEAC SCSI
floppy.

If your target is a SPARCstation, there's probably a good chance you can plug
your driver into SCSA, if not, you might be able to buy a consulting special
from Sun to provide SCSA on non-SPARCstations.
