Don't run off just because I say the N-word - this may still be applicable.
There's a group doing just that, except it's with a NS532 chip set. They
are now running the second set of production boards - set up for 6 serial
ports, *2* SCSI channels, and room for 4 to 32 (I think) MB of RAM, with
or without parity (board-selectable).

Even though the 2 chips are somewhat different, it might make a good
starting point. In fact, if the two groups worked together (C part of
the drivers and such), things could move even quicker!

They also have some good lines on all the various parts, including SCSI
drives you would need.
