Abstract
A SCSI computer system is provided whereby a host computer gains access to a targeted but non-local peripheral device, which device or devices are individually responsive to either SCSI or non-SCSI commands, by sending SCSI commands via a SCSI bus to a connected SCSI target computer which emulates the targeted peripheral device local to the SCSI target computer, whether the targeted peripheral device is responsive to only SCSI or only non-SCSI commands, to cause the targeted peripheral device to carry out the initial SCSI commands.
