- There is a product I've seen recently called "QuickSCSI" which is a
- Nubus SCSI adapter. It gives you a second SCSI bus.
-
- Does anyone know how the software for this (or other similar products)
- is organized? In particular, I'm trying to ascertain whether it is
- possible to talk to devices on this second SCSI bus using the Mac SCSI
- manager. I kind of doubt it since there is no call or parameter in
- the SCSI manager API which lets you specify *which* SCSI bus you want
- to use.
-
- It would also be interesting to know just how the drivers for this
- kind of thing fit into the system. Do they just add another 8 slots
- to the end of the Unit table? Enquiring minds want to know.
