Actually, I believe I've heard that the Trumpcard Pro has this capability
built-in.  It is also supposed to be part of the SCSI standard (device ID 7
is reserved for this), though I don't know that it's implemented on all
controllers.

Anybody with different controllers that knows about this want to speak out?
I've got a GVP and the new software and ROM upgrade doesn't mention it.

Actually, I think all you would need is a cable.
