I'd like to
hear more about this SCSI monitor - was it data over SCSI, or
some kind of control thing, or what?
It actually got all its data over SCSI. I suppose its main application was very oldest compact Macs which didn't even have
any PDS slot.
Forgot to mention...
There were SCSI-interfaced Ethernet adapters for SCSI-equipped Macs... got one
of those, too...

Those were common back then. Just about every Mac network business had its own
SCSI ethernet adapters.
It's a shame that there are no programming docs for those, since they would be
quite useful for connecting old Ataris and Amigas, amongst others, to
ethernets.

On a fast Amiga, it'd be interesting to see how such an
adapter worked up Shapeshifter to hook up to an Appletalk network. I
used to keep an Emplant Deluxe installed just for that purpose since
it had two localtalk ports on it. I haven't bothered getting
Shapeshifter working again on my new A3000. Maybe once I do I'll
find one of those adapters and test it out.

That would be very interesting indeed. Emplant is also available for free
nowadays, or at least it was a giveaway on some Amiga Format CD, so you could
try that as well.
I'd have done it myself, but my adapter refuses to work on any of my real
Macs.
