I will need a high performance disk, controller, and device driver for the
Macintosh II.  I will not be using it under A/UX, so things that work only
under A/UX are not interesting.  Ideally this combination should: provide
1.5 megabytes/second sustained transfer rate, be able to DMA to any other
NuBus device without much CPU intervention, have a capacity of at least 200
megabytes, and it should look like just another disk to the Mac.

Is this impossible?  Not yet available?  If so, then what is the
fastest/largest disk that one can hook onto the built in SCSI port and how
fast would this disk be able to talk to a NuBus device?

Thanks much,
