[comp.periphs.scsi] Any SCSI serial ports out there?

Is there any way that I could hook a device up to my SCSI port and
get some (say 4) serial ports (rs-232 type) through it?

(Would you belive this would be used for a NeXT? (among others))

Central Data Corp has recently announced a product like this.  I don't
know if it is actually shipping, or any of the details; they also
make VME serial boards, so presumably it has all the modem control,
multiple baudrates, etc.

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
