Does somebody have information about one of the following products for Sun Workstations: 1. SCSI terminal multiplexor. (posted on the net sometime ago) 2. Sun4/60 (SparcStationI) SBus, Parallel, High speed board. 3. SCSI<->ATbus converter. I'll appreciate any information about the above products, or about any Sbus card/expansion option. Thanks, Gil. gil%taux01@nsc.com or: gil@hujics.bitnet gil@humus.huji.ac.il

I have tried the e-mail addresses given by Gil Shwed, but my mail returned with the message: Host Unknown. So I send it to the Spots. Hi, Gil You were asking in Sun Spots v8n64 for info about the "SCSI terminal multiplexor". We have already five Scsi-P here in house. It is hooked on the Scsi port of a Sun3/60 or a Sun386i. So you can attached up to 4 serial devices, and up to 2 parallel devices. There is also an option to hook a IEEE 488 device. You can set the interface parameters you want. I am just using serial devices, and I test once to plug a parallel printer Actually I am running a LaserWriter II at 38400 bauds on one this serial port and a Julia Terminal on another one. Otherwise I have connected a Siemens computer, a Sun Window is used to emulate its ascii display, and another to emulate its graphical display. With this configuration I have some problems, while the Siemens does not understand any Xon/Xoff protocol or signal lines protocol. So When too many data arrive the Sun386i crashes. But it is a very special case, and Scsi-P is investigating on the bug. Otherwise it works good for normal usage. The firm which developped this Scsi-P is: PATZSCHKE+RASP GmbH Software Und Systeme Niederwaldstr. 6 6200 Wiesbaden West-Germany You can send e-mail to Axel Schlueter at : axel@apollon.uucp He has developped the Scsi-P. I don't have any contact with this firm, only as client.
