Has anyone looked at using SCSA on non-sun platforms?  Has anyone
compared SCSA with CAM?

I have written some unix/SCSI drivers using my own implementation of
CAM.  SCSA looked primising to me since I use Sun for development.
When I found that SCSA only works on SPARCs it quickly lost its appeal
and CAM (an ANSI spec) won out.  I was pleased with the way that CAM
fit together with what I was doing.

Any thoughts or comments on the merits of each are welcome.
