This is especially common in the "cheap" market. For example, for SCSI,
most of the violations tend to be USB storage - which is supposed to act
largely like SCSI, but in reality really doesn't. It locks up if you
try to access sectors that aren't there, etc.

Yes .. of course .. but please don't tap some words (without this kind comment) which sounds like rules [1]. *Especialy if* talk is about *one* specified piece of hardware. Moving discuss from one point to full population many people takes as plain trolling. Luben looks like SAS specialist and if you drive discuss outside SAS area this must be confusing for him .. and not only for him. And also .. SAS controlers this is not '"cheap" market'.

[1] look at comments at /. and osnews: http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/02/218233&tid=8&tid=106 http://osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=12074
look how many people without proper knowledge level assumes: Linus is authoritet -> Linus says "spec is close to useless" (without looking on context) -> .. probaly spec is realy useless. Of course it is blind repeatig but case like this may ruine many thing aroud Linux .. and forgive me: you must be aware all this.

Thank You, sorry and regards
