I haven't heard anything about it even having a scsi interface,
but we have one on loan with the gpib interface.  It has
VERY impressive quality (of course, it is a tad bit expensive).

The simple minded driver we have uses very little gpib stuff,
so assuming the scsi interface is (conceptually) at all similar
to the gpib, it shouldn't be too much work to write a driver
using the ds generic scsi driver.

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
