Is there any reason that one of the chips used for SCSI-1 interfacing,
such as the 5380, cannot be used to implement a SCSI-2 capable interface,
neglecting the fast and wide options?  Are there any additional requirements
of the interface "glue" circuitry that are not true of SCSI-1?

I have skimmed through both the SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 specs, and no
problems jump out at me, but I wanted to take advantage to the skill
and knowledge of those on the net before I get into this.  Any information
would be appreciated.

Thanks.
