Abstract

A SCSI computer system is provided whereby a host computer gains access to a targeted but non-local peripheral device by sending commands via a SCSI bus to a connected SCSI target computer which emulates the targeted peripheral device local to the SCSI target computer to cause the targeted peripheral device to carry out the commands.
