- 1. scst_disk won't allow me to burn discs in my target dvd writer over
the network, right?
- 2. unfortunately I have no experience in programming in C :(
- 3. does this involve lowering the max_sectors on the initiator? I have
no such control over MS Windows Vista initiator as far as I know.

would an updated patch mentioned in the scst README fix my issue?
(sgv_big_order_alloc.diff)
