This is used for audio DAT scsi, where the "locate" command is meant to do "fast-forward" or "fast-backward" seeking and the abort will simply terminate this seeking. How culd one initiate to abort an issued SCSI command with FreeBSD. Is it possible ? has it been tried ? will it work ? Is there a chance to issue SCSI-commands asynchronuously anyhow ?
