One of ADAPTEC's more successful items in the mid-'80's was their
"Nodem,"
which was a SCSI <=> ETHERNET bridge box. There are also plenty of ETHERNET
<=> printer port devices about. If you combined those, perhaps that would
do what you need without trying to whittle it yourself.

I have here on my desk, an UNused Hewlett Packard 88395 SCSI/Parallel

That's a neat thing. Do you remember who the manufacturer is?
