Some time back, there was mention in this group of using the DTC (Data
Technology Corp) 11-2 Host Adapter to run a SCSI device from the LSI-11
Q-bus.  This registered in my subconscious but I didn't save anything
from it.

So -- two questions:

1) Can the DTC 11-2, which is fundamentally a SASI host adapter, be
used to control a SCSI device (disk, in particular). 

2) Can any SASI host adapter which can assert a variable device ID
control more than one SCSI device, if one is careful to avoid
overlapping operations?

Advice is solicited.  Of course, I expect to write my own software
handlers, because the DTC 11-2 just passes command packets along to the
disk drive and doesn't pretend to be MSCP or anything clever.
