I suspect that the "Sony bus" is actually a SCSI bus. When I first got my
drive, I scanned over the documentation carefully and caught one reference
to SCSI in it. I need to repeat that operation to see if I can find out more.
A call to Sony tech support will hopefully clear up the matter, and will
get me a pinout for the connector on the back of the drive so I can wire
up a cable for my mac - if it really is SCSI.
