I'm looking for an A1000 SOTS controller that would allow the use
of SCSIdirect commands. I've got a CLtd controller right now, and
of all its limitations and bugs, not being able to use it to make 
tape backups is my biggest peeve. So I'm looking for any setup that
would allow me to put a SCSIdirect controller on my A1000. I already have
a microbotics starboard memory module with 2Meg. An expander bus,
a A500-based something, or whatever if needed. New or used, I'm not fussy.

I think it's really a shame that no hardware developers seem to be 
supporting SOTS any more.  When I first saw the SOTS idea, I thought 
"Great! Unlimited expansion! No more you-must-buy-a-new-multifunction-card-
because-your- peecee-clone-is-out-of-slots syndrome."  I'm just sorry that it 
didn't really work out that way -- now the entire machine has been
orphaned.         Oh well.      Can anybody give me a hint? I would
really like to use my tape drive on my 1000!   -- Darren
