Graham, we only are compatible with mass storage media that is accessed
through ACSI<->SCSI adaptors, like ICD's. The software and logic
incompatabilities
made it impossible for us to get the Mac's _SCSIDispatch to work right
with ACSI stuff.

	So, we stuck the correct SCSI chip at the correct address with the
correct wiring-pinouts to match a Mac Plus in the MegaTalk board, and THAT
will accept hand-scanners, etc, in Mac mode, plus hooking into Appletalk or
LocalTalk networks.

	Hope this clears it up. Good 	question!
