Hello everyone,

I am looking at writing a multitasking I/O script for the NCR 53C710
SCSI processor.  In the preliminary Programmer's Guide for the 710 is
a section which describes in very broad terms the design of such a
script.  Apparently it was written long before any means of testing
the concepts were available, and as a result several of the key ideas
will not work on the 710 as shown (they might on the 720 ;-).

I have a few ideas of how to get round some of these problems, but I
would be interested to know what approaches other people have taken.

So has anyone out there written such a thing, and are they willing to share
any ideas/approaches etc. with me?  Is anyone in the process of doing
such a thing?  If so would they like to bounce ideas back and forth?

Please mail me at the address below, or one of the addresses in my
signature.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

P.S. I am in the process of talking to NCR about this, but I don't think
     they will be a lot of help.  I may be wrong, but I thought it was
     worth checking out the net as well.
