I had this sort of working with a aha1542b running in target mode. I used
one lun for reads and the other one for writes. The initiater would just
issue a read to lun 1. The 1542 then would disconnect until it had data
availiable. Writes from the initiator would just go to lun 0. As the 1542's
firmware handles all the target mode stuff on its own, this was pretty easy
to implement. Performance was not so great because the 1542 (or maybe my
pc532) couldn't handle more than about 200-300 transactions/second.
