	In Mr.Randy Davis' response to Ed Scheinerman question:

	>etc. Please respond by e-mail to

#   3) Add SCSI to your system.  (Small Computer Systems Interface)  Numbers
#      one and two may be cheaper (I do not know), but the SCSI interface will
#      allow more expansion: up to 28 135 MB disks off of one I/O slot.  (Yes,
#      28 X 135 MB = 3.78 GB!!)  I am unsure at the moment of the exact size of
#      these SCSI drives that are being marketed at the moment, but they are in
#      the area of 135MB. The SCSI interface will allow the connection of other
#      devices other than disk drives.  You can, for instance, configure it
#      with a maximum of 24 disks and one 9-track tape drive (of course, you
#      can put just one disk on it and expand it later...).

	I have wanted a SCSI port for my AT&T 3B2/300 for a long time!!!  A
co-worker of mine has one on his IBM AT.  He has a Banoolie(sp, sorry) box on
his machine.  I know I am spelling "Banoolie" wrong, sorry Iomega.  This device
allows my friend to have "unlimited" disk space...  The unit has 2 removable
20MB disks.  The disks sell for around $150.00 the drive for around $3,000.00

	Is the SCSI port a "PC" SCSI port, ie can I purchase SCSI hardware
off the shelf or is a new device driver needed for each.

	WHERE CAN I GET A SCSI PORT for my 3B2/300????  What is the cost?:-)
