[Disksim-users] Question of SATA disk simulation

[Greg Ganger]

The "SCSI only" part is the disk parameter extraction tool (DIXtrac),
not the simulator (which is interface agnostic).  It only works for SCSI
because it uses SCSI commands in doing the extraction.  Other tools
(and parts of DIXtrac) can extract a subset of the disk parameters
used by disksim from other disks, by not using SCSI commands.
