  The official channels probably should have told you that it has already
been released and is already in production.  The interface card they are
hinting at is the 195W circuit module which is a SCSI (small computer
systems interface) host adapter board.  The SCSI-HA circuit module, as the
name implies, allows the addition of certain SCSI-compatable peripheral
devices to the 3B2.
  I am unaware of any non-AT&T interface boards.
