Don't laugh - > I believe that Johannes Helander actually did this at some point. I've thought about it. The only working target now is the 1542B, not A, not C. Not very wide coverage and I've never had two in house at once to talk back and forth. 100Mbps e-net makes SCSI-IP less interesting, though the idea of sharing the read only partitions of a disk via direct block reads and the r/w partitions using IP over SCSI on a motherboard with direct support for fast-wide SCSI is interesting. The last time this came up there were a questions about latency that are still unanswered. The devil is in finding the hardware and time to do this. Soon I'll have a single NCR SCSI system. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc. Voice: 508 433 6936 dufault@hda.com Fax: 508 433 5267
