There's a company in Seattle that figured out how to do this. They're
called Software Architects, and use Object Pascal for the SCSI drivers
they write. They use the method you describe in a post-Link phase. I
don't know if their tools are/will be commercially or otherwise
available. If you have AppleLink, you might want to contact them.
