There is a LSI logic(mpt) SCSI controller in the system. However that is 
immaterial as
I am trying to get a large memory buffer to act as a disk.
I would emulate a SCSI controller, so will handle the low level SCSI 
commands myself by accessing the
memory.

I will look at the above.

I do that - Is there something special that I need to write in the ccb 
header so that the caller
identifies the "device" as a disk ?

Thanks for the response.
