What's the general timetable on this? Are they still a purely R&D project,
or is it moving into manufacturing in the moderately near future?
(I.e. are we talking months, years, decades?)

You seem dubious about SCSI interface; what kind of interface *is* likely?
Something proprietary to the current Tandy line, or what?
