At the factory they can bootstrap a drive from scratch


Can you explain that? ;)

Especially if it helps to start a drive with a controller from another drive.

TD64 is then the API definition of the driver? that makes it possible to write a drive oneself.

Which leaves the SCSI controller chip. Does the chip limit the length of the SCSI commands in a way that larger drives will be limited?
