Hello:

I would like to use the SCSI port on a Sun/360 to output 8-bit
digital data (sort of like a Centronics printer port).
Can anybody give me some ideas on the easiest way to do this?
The device will be the only one on the SCSI bus, so it would
be nice if I could somehow avoid all of the bus arbitration
complexities. Is there a chip available that can perform this
task?

Shawn.
