	We would like to buy a multibus SMD controller and disk from
independent vendors, to hang off either a DSP80 or a Dn420.
Several questions:

	- Has anyone done this.

	- Any preferred vendors

	- How to configure the controller

	- How to tell Aegis (Sr7) about the presence of the disk

  	- Does Sr7 have all the necessary support for an external
	disk, is it "hard coded" or is it configurable, if so how?

	- Any other tips will be much appreciated

	- Or is it a dumb idea in the first place !

	We have the optional GPIO package, so if some software has to be
written, it can be done ( ofcourse if someone wants to give us a driver
we will be more than glad).

	While i am at this, could someone please let me know the address
of the contact for T (lisp) distributions.

					Thanks in advance,
