I am building a simple functional tester for digital IC's. I would like to use the SCSI port on a Sun 3/60 as a simple bidirectional 8-bit parallel port. Can anybody give me some ideas on the easiest way to do this? The device will be the only one on the SCSI bus, so it would be nice if I could somehow avoid all of the bus arbitration complexities. Also, I was wondering what kind of software would be necessary to access the port at such a low level. If this proves to be too difficult, then I will probably design an SBus card for a SPARC. In this case, would I have to write a device driver, or is there a simpler way to access an SBus card?
