There are already a couple of boards out there with a built in SCSI port.  The
Tiny Turbo Motherboards use them.  But as for IBM, Compaq, AST, et. al.  Nah,
they'll leave it to Western Digital, Adaptec, and the other drive controller
manufacturers to produce them.  There's no guarrantee that the port built into
your board would be the ideal port.  I'd wait for WD to do it, they make good
controller boards.
