I have to disagree with your point about IIGS documentation.
This is the first time in YEARS that Apple has made such an effort
to publish complete technical information about a product.
I think they should be encouraged for it, not dumped upon.

I haven't looked up the SmartPort protocols, but documentation
for Apple's SCSI interface is available.  Why would you want to
put the protocol converter between your SCSI interface and the
processor?
