Parsytec has a transputer card which interfaces to the SCSI bus.
I believe it uses a 68000 to do most of the work, so you still
have a T8 around for other stuff.  Given the dismal SCSI
bandwitdh it performs very well, and at least your could have
multiple cards accessing multiple disks.  There is also a driver
for Helios which implements a very fast file system, suggesting
the potential for real-time databasing.
