I apparently spent too much time in programs where you have to do 
Shift-Enter to start a new line without sending the message, which has 
the opposite action here.

I was just going to add that I also haven't seen them pretend to be:

- iSCSI Gateway

- FC-AL Gateway

- SCSI scanner

- SCSI camera

- SCSI framebuffer

- SCSI OSD

Any other less common SCSI devices we should start asking for 
BlueSCSI/ZuluSCSI/etc to support pretending to be?
