     @thepi @jhwgh1968 @whitequark look, the prophet Shugart got it right in 1979, and there's no reason to reinvent the wheel if the old one already works perfectly

     @jhwgh1968 @whitequark "We have invented a new way to access storage devices!"
     "New way to access storage devices or SCSI again?"
     "SCSI again."

     @whitequark huh, TIL

     A similar cognitohazard, at least to me (but maybe not to others):

     "USB mass storage" is actually SCSI commands wrapped in USB packets

     @Junco @jhwgh1968 @whitequark don't forget that UFI is SCSI, as implemented by Shugart Associates, but it has to translate to the raw floppy connection, which is also called... Shugart.

     @jhwgh1968 @whitequark USB mass storage has like three different sub-protocols, only two (?) of which are SCSI

     @jhwgh1968 @whitequark I'm sorry, I misspoke. USB Mass Storage has six different sub-protocols (RBC, SFF-8020i/MMC-2, QIC-157, UFI, SFF-8070i, and SCSI), all of which are SCSI.
