SASI device <-> PC ?

To further muddy the waters, there seems to have been a time where SCSI was replacing SASI, but the SCSI Common Command Set wasn't yet ratified - so things existed that were for all intents and purposes SCSI, but left out a few commands here and there (some of the OMTI tape controllers I seem to remember are like this). Hence the reason I'd quite like a simple paralle-port type interface than going the internal ISA card route as I expect I'd find there are always going to be a few exceptions to the norm here and there that'll need to be worked around - and it'd be easier to do all the driving in user-land on a PC than messing around with hacking device drivers at any kind of OS level... cheers Jules
