In the referenced article, Greg asks if a Mac SCSI-based Ethernet adaptor
would work with Spectre 128.
   It could be made to work with a great deal of software, I suspect,
provided the Mac software uses legal OS calls to get to the NCR SCSI chip.
At present, Spectre provides no access to the Mac's SCSI chip (thus it doesn't
try to map SCSI calls through to Atari ACSI). It's being looked at, though;
lots of folks want CD-ROM players, etc,to work.
