Possibly? But then there are several other places where this could also happen. The 
ESP uses the FIFO as a buffer for the SCSI bus in DMA mode, and so at the start of a 
DMA transfer the FIFO can contain leftover junk. This is why all the guest OSs I've 
seen send an explicit "Flush FIFO" command before each command to ensure that any 
junk is removed from the FIFO before sending the message out/CDB.
