- I guess you mean accessing an scsi device via a programm, in that case
- yes. The actual unix device driver is supplied by NeXT.
- There is example code supplied how to access scsi-devices, exspecially
- the CD-ROM.

- Don't know since NeXTSTEP486 isn't out yet, but I'll guess not so
- different.

- As far as I know there is no additional scsi-board avaiable for the
- NeXTcube, but with NeXTSTEP486 I would guess it's possible to put an
- second scsi-board in the PC.

- Hope this helps
