    We plan to developp such a board (SCSI). The main features should be:

    - add-in-box oriented (i.e. must be connected to a host)
    - standalone box (power inside)
    - if possible, support single ended termination (i.e. like MacIntosh) and
      differential mode termination (i.e. Sun ...) ... and others
      ANSI X3.131-1986 compatible
    - 4 links (Inmos and/or RS422 Parsytec connectic (long cables up to 10m))
    - NCR SCSI controller and T222 (225 ?) Transputer EEPROM booted and SRAM
    - possibility to add TRAMS (# 4 ?) on board allowing the board to be
      usuable for developments.
    - Software will be first available on Sun, Sony and NeXT machines.

    PS:   We have developped some softwares (TDS ``emacs-like'' on Unix) and
    are currently working on implementation of Lisp (Le-Lisp) on Transputers.
