Have you seen ATAoE?  It is, as the name implies, ATA over Ethernet.
Unlike the 300-page mail-order catalogue of the iSCSI spec, the ATAoE
spec is eight pages, mostly taken up with diagrams showing an ATA packet
wrapped inside an Ethernet frame.

I toyed briefly with the idea of writing an ATAoE target for the PDP11.
Not sure if I could port it to OS/2, though, or make it talk to TK50s.
