scsi interface libraries for linux

[u8978...@spawnkill.ip-mobilphone.net]

I am dealing with a dumb scsi camera that I have no driver for.
I like to see if there is a set of scsi library functions for
linux that i use to interface my front end application with
to control the camera. Something like aspi. Is there aspi for linux?.
Or is it only for windows?.
J/.

There's no ASPI for Linux, but you may be able to use the SCSI pass-through
driver. Make sure you compile your kernel with Generic SCSI enabled. Your
camera will then be visible as a generic device /dev/sgX (where X depends on
the other SCSI devices on your system). Check out http://www.torque.net/sg/
for further details on SCSI passthrough under Linux
