Abstract
A method and apparatus for interfacing a SCSI device directly to an Ethernet network utilizes a single board converter for translating information packets in Ethernet format to a SCSI format. In reverse, the same converter translates information from a SCSI device into a format suitable for transmission on an Ethernet bus. The method defines a procedure for receiving, recognizing and translating data bi-directionally between the bus and the SCSI device.
