It was alleged that certain RAID configurations can benefit by this function to
wait for the entire rank (I think) to be ready for transfer while transferring
with some other Rank that is ready. It gives a pseudo master/slave type of
operation rather than the peer concept.

I wasn't around for the origins of the TARGET TRANSFER DISABLE and
CONTINUE I/O PROCESS messages. Am I correct in inferring that the
primary purpose of these is to allow an initiator to temporarily suspend
transfers from a high priority device in order to prevent bus starvation
on low priority devices?
