  Endpoint turns a Linux machine with one or more firewire cards into an
  SBP-2 device. The advantage is that you can use any file or device the
  linux machine supports as storage, and that multiple clients can sit
  on separate buses so they can get the full bandwidth of the bus.

Pretty neat stuff.
