A system and method for interfacing a non-SCSI device to a computer network for communicating with a SCSI device attached to the computer network is disclosed. An interface receives a SCSI-based communication message from the network that is intended for the non-SCSI device. The SCSI-based communication can be formatted for transport over, for example, a TCP/IP transport stream and includes, for example, a command descriptor block and accompanying data. A translator device converts a first SCSI-based communication message to a corresponding first non-SCSI communication message that is recognizable by the non-SCSI device. A translator device also receives a second non-SCSI communication message from the non-SCSI device and converts the second non-SCSI communication message into a corresponding second SCSI-based communication message. The interface device, responsive to the second SCSI-based communication message, sends the second SCSI based communication message to the network.
