Which one? I thought that this was just in linux. I am guessing that the
windows driver does not do this. IMHO, the scsi emulation is just there to
save the zip driver writer work, and isn't necessarily necessary under
beos. Please correct me if this is wrong.

Do it if it will save work, and you feel the need to do that. In linux it
always felt like a lazy kludge to me. (I like linux, but I can be honest
about it's [few] shortcomings. :) )
Are you planning on just porting the linux driver over?
Keep up the good work. I'm impressed.
